When we first got to London on our vacation, it was later in the afternoon. We got checked in to the hotel and dropped off our luggage before heading out for a stroll. We weren’t going too far and just restricted ourselves to the area around Westminster Bridge and up to Hungerford Bridge. There were so many people around, even walking across the bridges was something that required constant attention. Everyone was taking photos and not really paying attention to anything around them.
Since the sun was in the west, the main face of Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament from Parliament Square were better lit as was the London Eye from across the river. I was only carrying my phone with me so was grabbing the occasional shot rather than focusing on the photography but it was nice to be back in Town and having a look around. It did feel awkward being a tourist when I have spent so much time there scorning the tourists but so be it!
