Post Apocalyptic Tower Bridge


A nice digital artwork. The Tower Bridge is overgrown by twiners and the effects of global warming are causing a fast growing jungle in London.

British Post Apocalyptic Scene


Devil's Playground (2010) is a post apocalyptic movie were the world is overrun by zombies. A hardened mercenary is chasing the one person who can provide a cure. Sure not a great movie but because it's British the scenery is London.

London Futures


A new exhibition shows London landmarks in an environment transformed by climate change. From rice fields in Parliament Square to ice-skating on the Thames, 14 familiar views of the capital have been digitally transformed by illustrators Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones. The exhibition runs from October until March 2011 at the Museum of London.

Post-Apocalyptic Rolling Stones

This nice painting by Rodney Matthews from the 1970s with the title "Another Time, Another Place" shows the Rolling Stones as post-apocalyptical highwaymen.

And because Rodney Matthews is as British as the Stones, in the back there is Big Ben to be seen and not Lady Liberty.

Here an illustration from a magazine of 1911.
