Europe Trip #16: London - 1 - River Trip

We arrived back in England [staying in London] a few days ago. After a good night´s sleep, one of the first things we did was a river cruise on the Thames up to Greenwich, stopped for lunch and a look around, then back.

For this and the next posts, I have simply put together some of the photos from that trip. It´s a nice little introduction for anyone not familiar with this part of London. More on the places I have visited over the next few posts.

I don´t claim any knowledge of the particular buildings, although the round glass building is city hall, and you might be able to spot the OXO building [home of the famous flavouring cubes!] and lastly, the clock is Big Ben.

Sorry to be pedantic, but Big Ben is the name of the bell that chimes the hours, so called because of it's size and how well it's sound carries. The clock itself is not called Big Ben, although sometimes the tower it's on is misnamed Big Ben.

You're not sorry :-)

Ok, fair enough!
