This is the second part of my photographic report of London.

This place is Piccadilly circus. Probably it is the most funny place of London:

And this is Piccadilly st. This street communicates Piccadilly circus with Green park:

On the north of Piccadilly st, it is Myfair district. It is one of the most expensive areas of London:

Grosvenor place in Myfair district:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/228_Myfair.jpg

And this is Hyde park. In this corner, Hyde park, Green park and Piccadilly st. join. It is known as Hyde park corner:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/259_Hyde_Park_Corner_Wellington_Arch.jpg

This is an statue of Wellington:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/260_Hyde_Park_Corner.jpg

This arch is the entrance to Hyde park:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/264_Hyde_Park_Corner.jpg

An statue of Aquiles:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/265_Hyde_Park_Aquiles.jpg

And this is the inner of Hyde park. It is enormous, and it is plenty of big trees and extensive meadows:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/268_Hyde_Park.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/272_Hyde_Park.jpg

This is the Serpentine lake. This long lake is in the middle of the park:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/273_Hyde_Park.jpg

In the park, there are roads for horses:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/276_Hyde_Park.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/277_Hyde_Park.jpg

An small statue of Peter Pan:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/280_Hyde_Park_Peter_Pan.jpg

This italian garden is at the end of the Serpentine lake:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/282_Hyde_Park_jardin_italiano.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/285_Hyde_Park_jardin_italiano.jpg

And Kensington gardens. Actually, they are the same park that Hyde park, then I don't understand why it is called with another name:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/308_Kengsinton_Gardens.jpg

Kensington palace. In this palace, Lady Di lived after her divorce:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/295_Kensigton_Palace.jpg

These are the gardens of the palace:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/296_Kensigton_Palace.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/299_Kensigton_Palace.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/300_Kensigton_Palace.jpg

And this is the Orangerie, where the tropical plants are kept during the cold winter of London:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/303_Kensigton_Palace_Orangerie.jpg

In the other side of the park, it is the Albert Memorial, dedicated to Albert prince, married with queen Victoria:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/314_Kensington.jpg

At the corners of the monument, each statue represents a continent:

África:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/288_Kengsinton_Gardens_memorial.jpg

Asia:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/291_Kengsinton_Gardens_Albert_memorial.jpg

America:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/294_Kengsinton_Gardens_Albert_memorial.jpg

On the south of the park, it is Kensington district. It also one of the most expensive of London:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/307_Kengsinton_Gardens.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/309_Kensington.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/315_Kensington.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/316_Kensington.jpg

This is Royal Albert Hall. It is like a theatre for operas and other big spectacles:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/312_Kensington_Royal_Albert_Hall.jpg

This is the Bromton Oratory, one of the few catholic church in London:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/320_Kensington_Bromton_oratory.jpg


This is Harrods:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/318_Kensington_Harrods.jpg

During the night, this is a bit pretentious:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/atlan_london4/628_Harrods.jpg

Also in Kensington, some of the best museums of London are here. This is the Royal Albert Museum:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/652_Victoria_and_Albert_Museum.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/650_Victoria_and_Albert_Museum.jpg

This other building is the Natural History Museum:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/647_Museo_Historia_Natural.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/659_Museo_Historia_Natural.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/660_Museo_Historia_Natural.jpg

And this is the Science Museum:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/661_Museo_Historia_Natural.jpg

Near Kensington, it is Belgravia district. This district is plenty of embassies:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/323_Belgravia.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/325_Belgravia.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/327_Belgravia.jpg


Far from the center of London, Notting Hill is a residential district. Several years ago, it was the house of inmigrants from caribbean countries. They painted theirs houses with alive colors:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/334_Notting_Hill_Portobello_road.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/335_Notting_Hill_Portobello_road.jpg

Portobello road is the main street of the district:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/336_Notting_Hill_Portobello_road.jpg

If we return to the center, Regent street is another monumental street, plenty of buildings of John Nash:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/340_Regent_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/342_Regent_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/344_Regent_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/350_Regent_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/352_Regent_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/353_Regent_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/354_Regent_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/357_Regent_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/359_Regent_St.jpg

And this is Oxford st, maybe the most commercial street in London:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/365_Oxford_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/368_Oxford_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/369_Oxford_St.jpg

At the end of Oxford st. it is Marble arch:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/373_Marble_Arch.jpg

At the north of the center of London, it is Euston road. In this street, there are two big train stations : King's Cross and St. Pancrass:

King's Cross is a bit modest:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/383_Kings_Cross_Stn.jpg

However, St. Pancras station is a extraordinary neogothic building. In my opinion, one of the best buildings of London:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/386_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/387_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/388_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/394_St.jpg

In Euston road, this church adorned with greek statues:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/398_Iglesia.jpg

And more buildings of Nash:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/409_Park_Crescent.jpg

And several high buildings made with glass:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/401_Euston_Road_St.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/atlan_london5/403_Euston_Road_St.jpg
