if you missed part I, you can see all of this, and all of London, from the City's observation decks here (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=287140)

the City is the oldest part of London, and the main finanical district. like any neighborhood tour, there's probably some bleedover, especially because some pics were taken on a Jack the Ripper walk (during those days, meaning there were jurisdictional questions over whether Scotland Yard or the Metropolitan police should investigate.)
