London - Part 4

The Globe Tavern - I thought it was a newspaper publisher!

This is one of the many shopping districts in what is know as the West End.

I am sorry to say I don't remember which one, we went through several.

I believe it was on Regents Street.

 I love how this building curves.

This part of London is where you can do some serious shopping,

at some very serious prices.  Too rich for my blood!

To me this is a very iconic scene.

This grand building is Lillywhites,

a sports store!  Somehow puts REI or Cabelas to shame.

It is on the edge of Piccadilly Circus.
I always assume Piccadilly Circus was, well, a circus.
I had no idea it was really a large roundabout!

The famous TV screen at somewhere.

 My daughter informed me that this is not the one at Piccadilly Circus.

So I don't know where the heck it is.

If anyone does know, let me know.

Here you can actually see an image on the big screen.

The Phantom of the Opera!

To me this is what you think of when you hear -

London / Theater.

The West End is famous for theater and shopping.

Here is a play, The Caretaker,  that actor Jonathan Pryce is in.

This is Trafalgar Square.  Learn more about it.

It is one of the world's most visited sites.

It was hard to get a good picture of it due to the proximity of the bus.

A couple of the lions guarding Lord Nelson, one of Britain's military heroes
who was mortally wounded during the Battle of Trafalgar.

Once again, due to the overcast sky, the picture is dark,

but here is a faraway shot of the Lord Nelson monument.

 Just a quick look down the street from Trafalgar Square,

what do you see?  Yup - Big Ben!
