So I jumped on a bus and ended up at Westminster tube station...For tourists, it's one of the first stop becaus eof the House of Parliament and Big Ben. The Westminster Abbey is also quite a popular venue, and the trick is to come and visit early in the morning to avoid the huge queues at the entrance.
That's a view of the House of Parliament from the South Banks. Big Ben is quite impressive and towers over the Thames.
As you walk towards the Abbey, colourful banners surprise you at the turn, and reminds you of how the world is full of savagery and massacre, and how the Parliament should be dealing with these issues to affect the daily lives of those fortunate enough to be represented.
And at that time, the old London signature doubledecker bus 159 drove by.
Across the bridge, on the south banks stand the London Aquarium in the old County Hall, and next to it, the British Airways London Eye.
The other part of the County Hall is a restaurant and here is the entrance to it.
I am aware that there is more to see in the area, but that is probably the must-see that can be done in an hour or two. I prefer to be around in the evning, when all the crowds have gone home or to their hotel, but others, like this man here, would indeed prefer a crowd to cheer him up.
He was trying to move on next to the London Eye...To be fair, the wind was really strong, but not enough to discourage the crowd to stay out..it is London after all.
