This week’s photo is a perfect shot of More London with City Hall and Tower Bridge in the background. The photo was taken by Last Rounds.

The sculpture the man is balacing on is one of five giant full stops created by Turner prize nominee artist Fiona Banner. Each full stop is inspired by a different typeface.
