Just a photo dump this morning. It’s odd to me that as much as is going on in London, it’s not particularly the most photogenic of cities. Photography is not allowed either in Westminster Abbey or St. Paul’s Cathedral, so I suppose you’ll just have to visit to see for yourself. I will checking out of my hotel in the Paddington Station area of the city to catch the Tube to Victoria Station, where a train will take me to Portsmouth this afternoon. I will have a few hours there before an overnight ferry to Caen in Normandy. I expect that I will take time tonight to reflect a bit more on my experience in London.
For now, the photos. Click to embiggen.
Starting with snaps from the phone camera.
