Random London IV

Another collection of pictures taken while living in the UK’s capital.

London (2)

London is ...

City of London

... a city of light ...

Aren’t a light pollution fan? Well, too bad.

... always in motion ...

Busy Living

... with many interesting buildings ...

Alban Gate

London 3

... some of which are taller than others ...

Canary Wharf

London

... generally, it is a good place to get purposely lost in.

London walks

And when you do, you can discover some great spots. For example, public parks on the rooftops of some buildings. Probably two most interesting ones are the Crossrail Place ...

Crossrail Place

... and the Sky Garden. The second isn't as spacious as the previous mentioned, but offers rather different feature. It is located 150 meters (490ft) above the street level.

It sits on the top of a recently build top-heavy skyscraper at 20 Fenchurch. That's this one:

And as you could guess, there’s a great view from it.

Thames

Canary Wharf
It is a city of power, represented by anything from medieval strongholds to this light armored cruiser from the WW2 era. It serves as an Imperial War museum now.

HMS Belfast

... It is a city of art ...

...also, a city of shopping. Or so I was told. I am not really the person who'd have a big appreciation of this. But some of the shopping galleries are nice.

Hay's Galleria

... a city with some cool (and very expensive) housing options ...

... It's the city without sunshine. Oh, just kidding.

East India

... But most of all, it is a city of so many sights that it's impossible to get bored here..
