On my way to work I get to see cool parts of London.
I arrive at Waterloo station. This of course named after the battle in Belgium where Wellington won over Napoleon. The Eurostar train from Paris used to arrive here. I always thought it quite funny that the French who came here by train had to be reminded of this by the name of the station.
Further along my way to work I get a view of Big Ben and the London Eye.
I’m then greeted by Nelson Mandela outside the Royal Festival Hall.
Later in the day the skaters come here.
Looking across the river I see Charing Cross station and the old Shell building, now the Savoy hotel.
The booksellers Market at Southbank. Come summer and there will be many more books here.
The National Theatre, built in a style called “British Brutalism”. I wouldn’t want everything built like this, but I do like the building. I’m guessing that its not Prince Charles’ cup of tea.
A last view over the river with St. Pauls cathedral in the background.
I turn right and there’s work…
