Thank you for such lively paintings. I used to live in Hackney Road at the Columbia Road end, and these exciting colours bring back good memories and the atmosphere of being there.

How beautiful he makes England look. My heart aches at these inward visions of the outward. Ellen

These are wonderful – such a sense of place and perspective that I’m transported time and time again – I started making a list of favourites and it got longer and longer – Meynell Rd, Gawber St. Tower Bridge, River Lea at Clapton, Tower block nr Columbia Rd, St. Martin in the Fields, Leopold Buildings, The Lake at Victoria Park, Southwark Cathedral, Public Baths, the Garrick Theatre…but all of them are full of life and character. An exhibition would be great news.

Gorgeous use of color and form. The owner of one of these paintings would find something new to love every day. Thank you for showing these.

A beautiful collection of work – I can’t pick a favourite. I liked the River Lea painting, Wells Road Common, the Regents Canal and the Public Baths especially but they are all lively and bright. Best wishes Peta

Stunning! The paintings are just wonderful, but the one of Tower Bridge in particular just spoke to me. More please.

Greetings from Boston,

GA, kudos to Nicholas Borden for producing these wonderful London landscapes during the pandemic with no hint of gloom. My favorites are: the close up of “Tower Bridge,” “Saint Martin in the Field,” and “Regent’s Canal.” The latter reminds me of a lovely sail I had on one of those ancient boats from the elegance of Maida Vale to the vibrancy of Camden on a summer afternoon.

Missing London today…
