Soho - Chinatown. Man, that place smelled awfully.

Leicester Square. The remnants of a christmas fair. Since the weather was London-like, we wanted to go to cinema. Finding a cinema that played "Casino Royale" took ages (the one on Leicester Sqare (forgot the name) still played it), prices were awful (15 Pounds?!?), we had to wait one hour out in the cold till the movie started...but surprisingly, it was totally, totally worth it. Eva Green for playmate! x)

The oldest house in London. It's address is "London 1" or something like that.
Image



Harrod's. Amazingly enough, the female part of our small group (two girls...) resisted checking out the yearly winter sale.
Image



The "Vicky and Al" museum. Didn't visit it, since I'm not much of an art guy.

I've got more....and I won't hesitate to upload it!

That "house" in No. 3 is on Hyde Park Corner, and officially has the address Number 1, London.

Great shots across both threads.

And yes, Chinatown DOES smell.....

I was actually disappointed. London is always said to be a big city. Not true. You can see everything a tourist has to see on one afternoon. :/



I've got photos for at least four more threads. But more tomorrow. :D

Hey Fozzer: It sounds like the region that I live in! >:( >:( >:(
It's become a "Mecca" for the "Illeagals" to migrate to,from Mexico or further south of the border! ;D ;D

The official home of the Duke of Wellington when he was alive ..... and now a museum dedicated to said man.

Haven't been to London for many years, never really liked it personally. If I have to visit a capital it'll be Edinburgh thank you very much! ;D

Nice stuff though :)
