London Trip Photos Part 1

It has been eight long years since my last trip to London. On a recent trip there, I found that it hasn't really changed that much except for some new shops here and there. The grandeur of the buildings still never fails to impress. The weather was bracingly chilly and mostly overcast but thankfully there were no dreary drizzles.

This was a work trip so I don't have very good photos. Most of these pics were snapped while on the go, often in a bus. Previously, I usually got around by the London Underground but this time around, I relied on buses and cabs which turned out to be faster and more convenient. I stayed near Waterloo and got my first good views of the Parliament House and Big Ben from the other side of the Thames.

Oxford Street where the grand old dame of British department stores, Selfridges, is located.

Love the grand majestic lions at the base of Nelson's Column.
