+++ The random London picture thread +++

Okay, since the previous threads got deleted, I thought I'd start this new one.

For any newbies who've just joined, this is a thread where you can post ANY images of London - new or old photos, skyscrapers or lowrise buildings, people or street scenes, closeups or long distance skyline shots... ANYTHING that shows this amazing city. They don't have to be your own photos, it could be anything you find online.

Just a word of warning though, can we try and limit the number of pics per page, otherwise it will take ages to load. No massive long sequences of 100+ images this time - instead, let's go for quality over quantity. Cheers!

Right then, I'll start this off with London's 10 most well-known landmarks (in my opinion) :



1. Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament






2. St Paul's cathedral






3. Tower Bridge






4. The Tower of London






5. The London Eye






6. Buckingham Palace






7. Nelson's Column/Trafalgar Square






8. Piccadilly Circus






9. 30 St Mary Axe






10. Westminster Abbey

I've lived in London for more than 5 years and it was the most inspiring moment I've ever felt in this city. Just fantastic.

A terrible pity it was ruined by the events of 7/7...
