The Most Beautiful Doors in Niagara-on-the-Lake

thanks to Dan for hosting Thursday Doors https://nofacilities.com/2026/01/22/the-greek-room/

Niagara-on-the-Lake is a quaint village full of old world architecture. The Main Street is full of charming gift shops, retro and designer clothing stores, hat shops, confectionary stores, cozy coffee shops, old theatres, Christmas shops, a variety of restaurants and pubs and high end renovated inns and spas.

In January many stores are closed for the season or have limited hours. Luckily we found enough places to explore and enjoy but some of our favourite walks took place through the neighbourhood close to our hotel. This is where we found some amazing doors.

Doors on Petherton in London

thanks to Dan for hosting Thursday Doors https://nofacilities.com/2025/10/23/hartford-line-union-station/

Our flat in London was situated on Petherton Rd. in London. It is part of the Islington area and was a mere 10 minute walk to our son’s flat in Highbury. We would frequently walk down Petherton to catch the overground rail to go to the Storehouse in one direction and Hampstead in the other. Here are a few of the doorways we would pass.

Thursday Doors – The Bermondsey Beer Mile

thanks to Dan from No Facilities for hosting Thursday Doors https://nofacilities.com/2025/06/26/cmu-carnegie-mellon-doors/

For those of you who don’t know: the Bermondsey Beer Mile is a loose amalgamation of brewery bars and bottle shops, located along a stretch of railway arch that’s closer to two miles long nowadays. It is located close to London Bridge.

The most interesting parts for us were the painted doorways of the different bars.

Thursday ‘Whimsical’ Doors – February 2, 2023

….thanks to Dan from No Facilities for hosting Thursday Doors https://nofacilities.com/2023/02/02/from-deep-in-the-archive/

On my one of my walks this week I took a slightly different route and came across a home with these adorable bird house in their front yard. They are all different and I’m sure in the warmer weather they are more than decorative.

Thursday Doors in Highbury

….close to our flat in London

Across from Highbury Fields stands a row of beautiful flats with colourful doors, some ornately trimmed and many of them have some kind of knocker on them. Some of them have the traditional lion and the more modern doors are adorned with shiny and sleek designs. The ones that I found most interesting were the dolphin door knockers.

Thursday Doors in Tours

…..April 21, 2022

Today was our last day in Tours. We had a wonderful two weeks in France and our home in Tours was exceptional. Here are four doors from the 19th century bourgeoise neighbourhood in Tours and the last three were on public buildings like the Opera House and City Hall.

Doors of Paris

….thanks to be Dan for hosting Thursday Doors https://nofacilities.com/2022/04/14/entering-silk-city/

Paris is a city rich in history and interesting architecture. Not only are the doors on some of the iconic churches and museums interesting but everyday homes and businesses have beautiful and sometimes unusual entry ways.
