David Lawrence Beautiful new advertisements, bridging the past and present of London shopping
David Lawrence brings history to life in this beautifully intricate and complex illustration of bustling Victorian Cheapside.

If you too want to mingle with the past, and help celebrate the reinvention and continuation of this once busy market street, you can visit the new development when it opens on October the 28th. www.onenewchange.com
