Based on pictorial evidence alone, Q's London photos of the Victoria Embankment can be dated as narrowly as late-Autumn / Winter of 2014, that is to say, mid-October to December 2014.

What follows is a series of images that illustrate this. (Series will prolly will crossover from bread to bread this morning.)

A cautionary note: In Q 1456, Q provided a Winter Wonderland photo that appears to be of a scene at Hyde Park in the Winter of 2013. Moar on that at a later time.

First: the main Q photo at issue here can be combined with a directly related photo to provide a panoramic view of the scene that Q captured one night in London.

See Q 1423

Note the vehicles on the road.

Re: Q's London pics.

For reference see Q 3645 and image LisaMI6. This featured a view of The Tattershall, a floating pub on the Thames. Pic taken from Golden Jubilee footbridge overlooking the Victoria Embankment.

Note that the stack was coloured white on top. This changed after January 2015. The Tatt was un-moored and her stack taken down for the journey upriver (under many bridges) for a refit and change of colour scheme. This work was done prior to her being towed on 18 JAN 2015. She returned mid-MAY 2015 with different coloured stack.

This particular image predates the period during which The Tatt was un-moored and then towed away for upgrades and a change in her colour scheme.

If we were trying to determine a time range during which the Q photo could have been taken, we can start with this end date for that range. Early-JAN 2015. However, the Q photo does not show indications of a pending New Year Eve celebration. So prolly the end of the time range, for now, would be late December 2015.

The stack appeared in the directly related London Pics at issue here.

late December 2014.

Re: London Pics.

(Please note the correction to previous post. The end of the time range prolly DEC-2014, based on the colour scheme change in The Tatt's stack.)

Ok. There are many possible markers in the images. There was a black wrought iron fence around the pedestrian island at the junction of Victoria Embankment and Northumberland, for example. There were changes to the markings on the road surfaces. There were changes to the docking stations for the bikes-for-hire just around the corner toward the Corinthia Hotel. And changes around the pedestrian crossing toward the Playhouse. And so forth. These all help to confirm aspects of the time line discussed here. However, the key is the appearance of signs near the other floating pub/restaurant on the scene, The Hispaniola.

The entrance to the Hispaniola is in frame at the lower left corner of NSA_Traf_CAM_ROT1. At times the entrance sign has been mostly white, mostly light blue, mostly dark blue, and dark blue with large white blocks. These variances help mark time in available photos of the junction.

See pic.

Moar …

Re: London Pics.

In addition to the entrance sign, there is a place to its left where additional signs have been hung.

In the Q photo, there appear to be a set of three such signs. It is difficult to discern but it seems that the dominate colours of each sign, from left to right, is purple, orange, and blue. Regardless, there are three signs.

In Streetview images from Googlemaps (and other images from a wide range of sources), these signs can be discerned.

In this set of pics note that A = Entrance Sign and B = Set of Signs to the left of that Entrance Sign.

Moar …

Re: London pics.

While the Entrance sign has varied, and the signs to its left have varied, time passed. The Q photo matches best the MAY to AUG 2014 images both in the colour of the Entrance sign and the number and colours of the signs to its left.

See pic for AUG 2014 vs other years.

Re: London Pics.

Comparison of Composite of two key Q London Pics with the available images from Spring-Summer 2014. Pretty close match, even if hard to discern dominant colours of the signs to the left of the Entrance sign in the Q Pic.

What do you think, Anons?

Summary:

The Hispaniola featured a light blue entrance sign in May/Sep 2012. No signs appeared on its left. In May/Jul/Aug 2014 the entrance sign was dark blue and to its left was a set of 3 signs. Each had a dominant colour. From left to right: purple, orange, and blue. In May 2015 the entrance sign remained dark blue and the set of signs to its left were gone. Instead there was a different set of signs with different dominant colours. From left to right: green, yellow, red, and light blue.

In Jul 2015 the Hispaniola's entrance sign was dark blue but with two large white blocks with black text. This does not closely resemble the entrance sign in the Q photo.

Based on pictorial evidence of these signs, the Q photo matches the images from May 2014 to May 2015 (but not including May 2015). There is much less resemblance between the Q photo and the images available for May 2015 and even less for images available from either earlier or later than the May-Aug 2014 period.

During that period, and in the Q photo, The Tatt's stack was colour white on top, red band in the middle, and blue down to the deck. That colour scheme changed when, in mid-Jan 2015, she was un-moored and her stack brought down for a journey upstream for a refit The Tatt returned in mid-May 2015 with new colours.

This evidence suggests that Q's photo is dated within a window as broad as Sep 2012 to mid-Jan 2015. However, this time frame could be narrowed as follows:

The Tatt remained in her location until being towed on 18 Jan 2015. Prior to that she was un-moored and her stack taken down in early-Jan 2015 and this would not match the Q photo. Given the resemblance of signs in 2014 images, and given the foilage (or lack of) in the Q photo and given the winter clothing worn by the individual sin the Q photo, the evidence suggests late-Autumn/Winter of 2014. To wit, Oct to Dec 2014.

London Eye presents fireworks. The Embankment is closed for pedestrians only. Traffic effected in area including about 5 bridges. Pending celebrations of this sort in London are presaged with road signs and setting up of various barriers and such. There's moar, but those are the big ones that would appear in a wide-angle photo such as Q's London Pics of the Embankment.

Huge pedestrian occupation of Central London riverside areas.

My remark about lack of indications of a pending NYE celebration were not meant for weeks ahead but moar like a few days.

For that matter, the embankment photo did not show much in the way of a Christmas season, Other of Q's London photos did – due to the Winter Wonderland theme.
