England

London, England


We finished our trip with 4 days in London, arriving October 30th and flying home on November 3rd.  It is nice to be home, but looking forward to going back to continue our travels.


Tower Bridge and the Girl and Dolphin sculpture


City of London


Leadenhall Market


The "Walkie Talkie" building


Fall color in downtown London



Interesting office building in the South Bank area. London is full of modern office buildings.


City Hall located along Queens Walk, a very scenic walk along the Thames.


The Shard


Another interesting office building


Tower cranes on a building site in downtown London. There was construction every direction you looked.



View looking south from Westminster Bridge toward the Vauxhall area of London.


Waterloo Bridge and the River Thames


Palace of Westminster and Big Ben

Piccadilly Circus near the theatres in London. We saw Stomp and Kinky Boots. Both were excellent.
