A Walk about the Thames

DND at Vauxhall Bridge

Another day later and a few more pictures. I went for a rather nice and long walk yesterday, down from where I was staying to Westminster to the Thames. Its been really brilliant weather lately, so I've been enjoy walking around. While walking I managed to capture a few pictures, but I'll only post three here in the sake of brevity and for your enjoyment.

First we have a pic (below) that solidifies my statement about the prevalence of the city buses. Second, a picture (below the buses) to illustrate how many CCTV cameras there are, and lastly (top) a panorama I took looking across the Thames at the DND building and some interesting Condos at Vauxhall Bridge. the pano is pretty small in this post, so let me know if you want to see a larger version. Its pretty lovely when bigger.

CCTV in Effect

* For those of you who know this area, you might have caught me exaggerating, slightly. This is taken near Victoria Station, which is a transit hub.

I eventually visited the Tate Britain, which is a museum full of classical paintings. it was really neat to see artwork of London from the 1700's. I highly recommend this Museum, but it might take a while as there are many pieces that you could sit in front of for a long time.

In the evening we went to a birthday party which was celebrated at a night opening of the Science Museum. It was a special night for adults, and all of the exhibits were open. There were a few interesting ones, including a Quiz Night (trivia) which had nothing to do with science, and a Silent Disco. Today I'm heading back to to Science Museum to take a look at all of the things I didn't have time for, such as the history of Medical Instruments (eek!) and the Museum of Natural History.
