Totally unplanned trip on the Thames in London yesterday. I was going to do something else but it was such a beautiful day and the prospect of sitting on a boat in the sun on the Thames was too good to miss. So this is almost a wordless post!!
The stunning Battle of Britain Memorial by Westminster Bridge. So clever and effective to model it on a ‘Scramble’
Canary Wharf
The Cutty Sark at Greenwich
The London Eye
The wonderful replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre
The Shard – I adore this building
The Tower of London
The Trinity Hospital Almshouses – beautiful building
Quantum Cloud Sculpture by Anthony Gormley. Can you see the shape of a man inside it?
The Emirates Air Line Cable Cars over the Thames
The O2 Centre
Half a boat – don’t ask, I have no idea why anybody would want to slice a boat in half!
The Thames Barrier

Fantastic trip and thanks very much to my dear friends Graham and Jan who made it possible and always spoil me when I come up to London and who also let me hug their cats (lots!).

Lovely to see some of the area where I used to live. I've not been back in years, we lived in Rotherhithe, Surrey Docks before they changed it to the yuppy name Surrey Quays.
I loved to go to Greenwich market and around the Cutty Sark….
Good memories thank you 🙂
I might be biased, but London is a wonderful city. Thank you for this lovely photo-blog. I love the Antony Gormley and I recommend that everyone should at some point in their lives spend a quiet five minutes at the Battle of Britain Memorial near Westminster Bridge.
What a great trip!
I would love to see these in person–but first I must start saving my pennies!
Lovely photos =)
I didn't know there are cable cars over the river. Great photo's.
