Took a stroll in London before meeting a friend of mine on my way back from Lincolnshire.
i started off in Covent Garden:

then made my way down toward St Paul's Cathedral, and found the high contrast appealing:

The other archetypal London thing: the black cab

After a quick dinner with my friend in Holborn I made my way to King's Cross to pick up my luggage from left luggage (expensive but left me free to wander) and they have been doing some work to the interior of the station; I need to spend more time here to take advantage of the shapes and it works better after dark I feel and didn't have a lot of time as was in hurry to get my train home from Paddington:
