+++ The random London picture thread 3 +++

L O N D O N



London (pronounced /ˈlʌndən/) is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom.

An important settlement for nearly 2,000 years, London is today one of the world's most important business, financial and
cultural centres, and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, sports, fashion and the arts all contribute to
its status as one of the major global cities of the world.

London is the most populous city in the European Union, with a population of 7.7 million and a metropolitan area population
of between 12 and 14 million. Its population is very cosmopolitan, drawing from a wide range of peoples, cultures and
religions, speaking over 300 different languages. London is an international transport hub, with five international airports
and a large port. It serves as the largest aviation hub in the world, and its main airport, the multi terminal Heathrow,
carries more international passengers than any other airport in the world.

London is a major tourist destination, with iconic landmarks including Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge,
the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and the London Eye amongst its many attractions, along with
famous institutions such as the British Museum and the National Gallery.

I was staying in London Bridge Hospital a few months ago and my room had the most fantastic views to the city over the river. God I'm so annoyed I didn't take a photo...I was too ill

What is the tall tower with the mast directly between Lloyds and Barclays? CityPoint? Centrepoint? Euston Tower? Looks like the wrong location for any of them though. *confused*

Its Euston Tower, no?

To imagine the impact not only when the city is bulked up by the flurry of towers - but also when LBT arrives on the left side of the pano. Stunnig.
