German photographer Sebastian Erras has been taking photographs of beautiful floors in European cities, such as Venice, Paris and Barcelona, for the past few years. This month he spent a few days in London, a city currently at the center of global attention following the historic referendum on the UK’s departure from the EU.

From June 6 to June 10, 2016, Erras took his camera -- and his dapper leather shoes -- to some of London's most exciting art museums, including the Tate Modern and the Victoria and Albert Museum. He also photographed the floors of restaurants across the city.

Erras first developed a passion for photographing floors on a trip to Marrakech, Morocco. Since then, his photos of vibrant floors in major European capitals have garnered him a massive Instagram following. His projects have been driven by the belief that floors have plenty of stories to tell about the histories of cities.
