This is one of my favorite pictures, taken a few years ago during a trip to London; I took this picture during a cruise through the River Thames on one of those days when the London weather decided to cooperate. That day we discovered that one of the best ways to see London’s famous landmarks, is from the river. As we went past London County Hall, I was duly impressed with the architecture of its building and had to snap this picture. You can see a corner of the London Eye peeking through on the left side as well a ship passing by. This week’s photo challenge: Two subjects.

You should definitely do a river cruise along with all other ventures in London. I enjoyed dining at The Crypt’s Cafe in St Martin’s of the Fields church, and listening to beautiful chamber music concerts. I highly recommend it. It is located in Trafalgar Square where you will also find the National Gallery. There is way too much to do in London, never enough time. I want to go back!

Oh, Marcia! Two in one. I would never have thought of seeing London by boat. What an insightful concept. Once upon a time, that was the only way to see it, except by horse. Now we just overlook things like that. Thank you for bringing life back into perspective for me today. 🙂

Now that I think about it, taking the Eurostar is also a wonderful way to travel within and outside of London. We took it to go to Paris, loved that trip!

I completely understand why. I was there once on a two-week college trip, very intense history angle and we could not cover as much as they had planned for us. Still, I saw every one of the must see attractions, and then some! I want to go back, even though I’ve visited a couple of times already.
