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:
The Meridien hotel in Piccadilly st:
The japanese embassy:
Ritz hotel:
More smart buildings in Piccadilly st:
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:
And this is Hyde park. In this corner, Hyde park, Green park and Piccadilly st. join. It is known as Hyde park corner:
This is an statue of Wellington:
This arch is the entrance to Hyde park:
An statue of Aquiles:
And this is the inner of Hyde park. It is enormous, and it is plenty of big trees and extensive meadows:
This is the Serpentine lake. This long lake is in the middle of the park:
In the park, there are roads for horses:
An small statue of Peter Pan:
This italian garden is at the end of the Serpentine lake:
And Kensington gardens. Actually, they are the same park that Hyde park, then I don't understand why it is called with another name:
Kensington palace. In this palace, Lady Di lived after her divorce:
These are the gardens of the palace:
And this is the Orangerie, where the tropical plants are kept during the cold winter of London:
In the other side of the park, it is the Albert Memorial, dedicated to Albert prince, married with queen Victoria:
At the corners of the monument, each statue represents a continent:
África:
Asia:
America:
On the south of the park, it is Kensington district. It also one of the most expensive of London:
This is Royal Albert Hall. It is like a theatre for operas and other big spectacles:
This is the Bromton Oratory, one of the few catholic church in London:
This is Harrods:
During the night, this is a bit pretentious:
Also in Kensington, some of the best museums of London are here. This is the Royal Albert Museum:
This other building is the Natural History Museum:
And this is the Science Museum:
Near Kensington, it is Belgravia district. This district is plenty of embassies:
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:
Portobello road is the main street of the district:
If we return to the center, Regent street is another monumental street, plenty of buildings of John Nash:
And this is Oxford st, maybe the most commercial street in London:
At the end of Oxford st. it is Marble arch:
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:
However, St. Pancras station is a extraordinary neogothic building. In my opinion, one of the best buildings of London:
In Euston road, this church adorned with greek statues:
And more buildings of Nash:
And several high buildings made with glass:
