  • Where can I start? London is such huge place, I have been there already few times, OK, the last time with the kids, so we choose more for children sites and the must see it the Hyde Park. I mean, if the weather is nice this park is wonderful place to spend at list half a day, having picnic and hanging around the park.

  • The Royal Albert Hall is one of my favourite buildings in London as well as a concert hall in general. I only saw concert here once, and unfortunately I also miss one classic back in June 85’

  • That is the International Shakespeare Globe Centre, including the classic globe theatre that designed in the classic style as the authentic theatre, just as a modern faculty these days.

  • Hemmm... I have been passing in this place in the past without knowing the name of it, till my last visit where the sun was shining, I could take photos as well and my “local guide” could tell me more about this place, the name and who got married here as well as to where is a good place to have a beer break.

  • Well, strange, but when ever I pass this place I think of that song, old time classic by Leonard Cohen, and if you heard John Cale cover version of it, then you know what a perfect song sound like.
    Unfortunately this photo was taking from a moving car.

  • British Museum is always a good reason to visit, try to be flexible with your plan, I used the pouring rainy day to visit the museum and other sunny days we could spend outside.

  • There are plenty of all kinds of religious house in London, majority is churches but I guess you can find just anything in London.
    This one is just here for the photo, the St Mary Abbots Church in the centre.

  • The famous Millennium Bridge is where you can cross the river by foot from one side to another, and on a sunny day you can catch some sun in many of the nice terraces on the south side.

  • This is the other nice bridge where you can cross the river by foot from one side to another, not sure if it in new or renovated, but just by this bridge in the south side there are many terraces where you can relax, have a drink and rest your feet
