The humble abode of the PM, taken from high in the sky of the London Eye.
The parents and I pose in front of the Tower of London, which is in fact several towers, not one. Most people thing of imprisonment and torture, which is historically accurate, but there's much more that went on as well. We're going tomorrow, so I'll let you know what else happened there.
This bridge links Parliament Square with the London Eye. Behind my dad, Annie and me is the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.
The detailing on this building is exquisite. We stood in front and just stared at it.
Imagine the whole building covered in this kind of detailing! Amazing workmanship.
Another shot of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, taken off the corner of Westminster Abbey in Parliament Square.
They say the best shot is when you get two clock faces. Big Ben is actually the name of the bell in the clocktower. Big Ben is on one end of the Houses of Parliament.
You can see all of the work that's being done to give this attractive, albeit timeworn, structure a facelift.
Whenever there is a flag over the Houses of Parliament, it signifies that Parliament is in session, as it was when we took this picture.
Taken from our tour bus, so it's not great quality, but it shows you the size and majesty of Westminster Abbey.
In Trafalgar Square stands the National Gallery and Nelson's Column (partly cut off in this picture), honoring Nelson's numerous victories.
They had these picture frames stationed all over the town... but they were only focused on this one fort.
We took a stroll a couple of blocks away from the apartment and Kensington Park and ended up on Queensway. It's a cool street with tons of ethnic shops and restaurants (Middle Eastern, Indian, Asian). I dubbed the end of the street "Little America" - there was McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, etc.
There are a lot of places of worship in Westminster. This synagogue is across the street from St. Matthews Church.
This is the view upon entering the church. It has great old architecture and style and magnificent details. Sadly, this photo doesn't do it justice.
Walking down the street from our apartment towards Kensington Park, we saw an eye-catching structure, extremely tall and old. The exterior looked like it might have been burned at some point. I was so intrigued, I urged the family to sneak in and explore. My mom was extremely uncomfortable trespassing. It's an Anglican church, part of the Church of England.
This is Brosch Security Group Team Building in Hanoi
Our little B&B in York. This isn't a particularly unique building in Clifton - they are all brick, ivy-covered and old-fashioned looking.
This is an unique product to celebrate Thanglong - Hanoi 1000 year Ceremony
