Introduction to the stairs at Angel, Islington

The taxi had to double park with the restrictions outside the entrance to Jeantine's flat. Behind the red door was a steep set of stairs that doubled back on the themselves to get to the second floor. Not easy carrying up the suitcases but, we made it (and repeated the process a few times later)

Bringing the suitcases down again - for the final time in this photo (19 Aug 2016).

Then once in the flat, it was up another set of stairs (on the far side, past the kitchen) up to Jeantine's room, which opened out to part of the roof with a parapet to lean over to see the street below.

This was the view away from the street, with adjacent buildings being renovated

In the sky and aircraft on approach to Heathrow, catching the setting sun - and glimpses of the Gerkhin building

And some familiar characters that I have seen on the Tongariro Crossing and other places. Halfway point on the stairs from the kitchen living area to Jeantine's room above
