London - Part 3

As I mentioned in a previous post,

I loved the architecture in London.

Street after street you have these magnificent buildings,

which usually have a business on the bottom level and

some type of housing on the upper levels.

Although I would dare say that most of us could not afford to live in them.

VERY EXPENSIVE!

I could not get over how clean these buildings look.

(I know my pictures are quite dark because of the rainy weather.)

London is a old, huge city but many of the buildings

are very white or a light color.

I thought that green part was a bit odd.

Not sure why it was that way.

A pub - it reminded me of Venice actually.

My touring was done in such a short time

but I believe this is Kensington Gardens.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

A dark colored building.

Really there aren't that many in the heart of London.

Or at least the part I saw.

 

This is a memorial to Animals In War.

It is to honor the 8 millions animals that served during wartime.

Our guide said, "Believe me, we have kept track of every single animal.

From dogs to horses, camels to elephants and every single carrier pigeon."

 

Interesting tribute to the horse.

Two things I have learned about the British -

they love their dogs (everyone seems to have one)

and they love horses.

Springtime is starting to appear!
