Sunset on the old and the new along the River Thames at Southwark Bridge.
The “Cheesegrater” (Leadenhall Building) in the middle, and the “Walkie-Talkie” (20 Fenchurch Street), to the right in London. The “Gherkin” (30 St Mary Axe) is hidden behind the “Cheesegrater” in this shot.
We wonder what nickname the new tower being built on the left will end up with.

The courtyard of the historic St James's Hotel and Club.
We stumbled onto this beautiful space on our way back to our hotel from Buckingham Palace. A gorgeous, peaceful little oasis that can make you forget you're in the middle of London.

Much of the city of London feels like a giant, elaborate amusement park
built around the monarchy. The scale of tourism generated by the royal
family is overwhelming. It's like Disneyworld for people who would never
go to Disneyworld. - Kimberly

The Red Lion.
This site in Westminster has been a tavern of some kind since the Middle Ages, and a watering hole for politicos, due to its proximity to Downing Street and the UK Parliament. Everyone from Charles Dickens to Sir Winston Churchill is said to have tossed back a drink here.
It's mainly a tourist destination now, but with its classic pub decor
and cozy feel, The Red Lion is a good place to wash down your first
steak and ale pie with a decent beer.
