London Revisited

It's been 3 years since I last visited London on my travels down to Brighton to visit my niece.

So I thought it was time for another visit as the London skyline has changed a bit since.

 I wanted to check out the Shard and see if I could capture the London Eye at night.

 A very early start I arrived at Euston station before 9am. Got the Tube and found out at Green Park I couldn't use the Jubilee Line so decided to walk down to the Thames to get my first photos of the London Eye. Went past Buckingham Palace and through St James Park, plenty of ducks and even caught a photo of a heron before it flew off.

Once at the Thames followed it along to Tower Bridge before I got the Docklands Light Railway out to Greenwich. Bit of lunch bought and climbed up the hill in Greenwich Park to the Observatory for great views of the London skyline.

On the way back to the centre I got off at Canary Wharf for a quick look round before going back to the South Bank. I visited the Tate Museum before stopping to see the various street performers.

Quickly took in Piccadilly Circus before walking down to Trafalgar Square then back to the Thames for sunset (or lack of due to cloud!).

Tripod set up and managed to get different photos of the London Eye as the light dimmed. Managed to get enough shots and it was time to make my way back via the Tube to Euston for journey home!

Below panoramic photo taken on the Thames:





Will do 2 separate posts of videos of the photos of the day.
