Keep Calm...and save Lewisham A&E protest. Matthew Chattle News Photography London

Don't keep calm, get angry and save Lewisham A&E. Nice use of humour (and the ubiquitous 'Keep Calm' slogan) for the protest held a few weeks back in Lewisham. Very dignified and peaceful and very big protest march.

Ben Helfgott a Holocaust survivor holds a candle on Holocaust Memorial Day. The event was held on the Millenium Bridge in London 2013. Using the theme 'Build a Bridge' the small and dignified event was a reminder to those who think that genocide can't happen on this scale; that it can and it doesn't need much for people to descend to such acts.

London Snow January 2013. Matthew Chattle NewsPhotography London

The snow hit London this weekend and as usual caused chaos and some opportunities for photography. Nothing more fun than taking photographs at this time of year, it doesn't happen very often so you have to take advantage.

Santacon hit London yesterday and many Santas were covering the streets of Leicester Square with Red and White and many a 'Ho, Ho, Ho'. A few elves and the occasional tree caused some outrage amongst the Santas but everything went off peacefully.

Campaign Against Climate Change. Fracking Protest London. Matthew Chattle News Photography London.

An anti Fracking march took place in London yesterday and the protest ended up outside Parliament where they assembled a mock rig. Lots of people attended, young and old. The tourists outside Downing Street looked bewildered but amused by it all. No more 'Fracking' jokes though please, every hack thought it was 'fracking' cold etc, etc, etc.
