During this period of social distancing, the streets of London may be deserted and places that were once packed now find only pigeons as companions, but it seems as though we are socially ‘connecting’ more than ever, albeit physically distanced.
For this week’s Postcard Club theme, we decided to take a trip down memory lane and pay homage to the places that are patiently waiting for our return, the places where you find yourself part of a close crowd.
We met online ‘in a crowded place’, discussed belonging to a crowd, what does the crowd of the future look like and will we return to them?
