A photograph of the tube the underground subway system. While on vacation we used the tube to get around. This is an amazing subway system. Everything connects to everything a must to experience.
A few weeks back, on what started out as a misty morning, I decided I'd rush up to London to see if I could take advantage of the mist for some architectural photography. Well, I'm not really someone that is very good at rushing anywhere and so it goes without saying that by the time I got into London the mist had all but gone. There is very slight evidence of it here in the distant Canary Wharf architecture on the right and those buildings on the left but that was about as much mist as I got that morning. The view here is of the HMS Belfast, a second world war Royal Navy warship permanently moored in the Thames as a tourist attraction. In the background of course the always photogenic Tower Bridge.
It's my first trip and my first film in 2022 and It's the first time that I went to the travel with my family.

The Cockpit pub, St Andrew's Hill, London
Interesting factoid of the day:
"The Cockpit pub marks the approximate site of a house once bought by William Shakespeare for the princely sum of £140."
A little vague but apparently there is some truth to it.

Tower Bridge is the most famous building in London, built in the Victorian style. Its history began in 1872, when the English Parliament passed an act to build a second bridge over the Thames. However, a condition was set that the style of the bridge should harmonize with the style of the castle. It is a drawbridge near the "Tower of London", where it gets its name.
The bridge was completed in 1894; it allows the passage of ocean-going ships up to about 40.5 m above the water level.
A characteristic element of the bridge are two main towers, connected at the top by two pedestrian bridges.

Tower Bridge jest najbardziej znanym obiektem w Londynie, zbudowanym w stylu wiktoriańskim. Jego historia zaczęła się w roku 1872, kiedy to parlament angielski uchwalił ustawę dotyczącą budowy drugiego mostu nad Tamizą. Postawiono jednak warunek, aby styl mostu harmonizował ze stylem zamku. Jest to most zwodzony w pobliżu "Tower of London", skąd bierze swą nazwę.
Budowę mostu ukończono w 1894 roku; umożliwia przepływanie statków oceanicznych do około 40,5 m wysokości powyżej poziomu wody.
Charakterystycznym elementem mostu są dwie wieże główne, połączone u góry dwoma pomostami dla pieszych.
