A Long Walk Around London

A Long Walk Around London

Had to pop into London the other day to get a camera battery and just my luck the shops gone lol but had two of my cameras with me the Kyocera Finecam S5R and Fuji Finepix F40fd so went on a long walk around London

Day started at London Bridge train station which is just round the corner from HMS Belfast and Tower Bridge which is just up the road/river

Then it was off down Mincing Lane to see the 3 horses which is just round the corner from The Monument which marks the starting point of the great fire of London

Then walked up the road to see the Natwest (tower 42), Lloyds and Gherkin buildings

Then down Threadneedle street

Feet starting to hurt but off to St Paul’s Cathedral

Back into South London by the Tate Modern and the Millennium Bridge aka the Wobbly Bridge designed by the architect Sir Norman Foster

Then last but not least got the Golden Hinde home as train was late which is a replica of a tudor warship/galleon in which Sir Francis Drake sailed around the world in 1577–1580

    Thanks for the tour round London.
    Great photos.
    I love the one of the Lloyds building – it looks like
    a rocket just about to take off!
    I googled ‘wordpress blog photography’ and
    yours was the first one on the list!

    Thanks for your comment the Lloyds building in London is a great bit of modern architecture to get photos of as it was built inside out so all the ducting and all the bit’s which would normally be hidden inside are on show

    Not sure how my Photo Blog came up first but i hope it stays there so will have to have a few more days out and post some more photos :-)

    All depends on what parts you want to walk round as the City of London is only a square mile so would only take about 30 mins to get round

    But if your talking about the rest of london ie the central part like Parliament sq, Oxford St and the rest it could take you most of the day if you want to see everything

    Will find out about the doncaster fit in too london bit

    Update think London is about 659 square miles just need to find the size of Doncaster

    Just found out that Doncaster will fit into London about 3 times
