Cutty Sark, a 19th century tea clipper at Greenwich
This evening, I am posting a portfolio of images taken in course of a day tour of London.
I walked down from my hotel, via Chinatown and Trafalgar Square to
connect with a tour boat on the Thames near the Houses of Parliament.
Chinatown
Rough Sleeper, Charing Cross Road. London is home to extremes of wealth and poverty.
Once on the Thames I encountered a wide spectrum of sites including:
- 3500 year old Egyptian obelisk.
- Various examples of exotic and modern architecture.#
- Replicas of items for the 16th century.
- Numerous and varied bridges.
- Old buildings dating back to the 16th century.
