A recent trip to the Natural History Museum in London for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition gave me the chance to get a shot of this amazing space.
This is actually a 7 shot (43mp) panorama, why? Because I only had a 50mm lens on me.

A shot from my visit to The British Museum last week. I did get a photo of the beautiful great hall but as it was overcast there was no light in the hall and it's quite dull, I think I need to have a tinker with it before posting it up. This was shot on my way out of the museum, I really liked the columns and the light here was screaming out for a moody black and white shot. There was a small group of people having their lunch on one of the benches, and a group of pigeons cleaning up their crumbs and rather than edit them out, I've left them in to give a human (and pigeon) element.

The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, is a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London, linking Bankside with the City of London. It is located between Southwark Bridge and Blackfriars Railway Bridge. It is owned and maintained by Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. Construction began in 1998, and it initially opened in June 2000.
Londoners nicknamed the bridge the "Wobbly Bridge" after pedestrians experienced an alarming swaying motion. The bridge was closed later on opening day and, after two days of limited access, for almost two years while modifications were made to eliminate the motion. It reopened in February 2002.
The southern end of the bridge is near the Globe Theatre, the Bankside Gallery, and Tate Modern, while the northern end of the bridge is next to the City of London School below St Paul's Cathedral. The bridge alignment is such that a clear view (i.e. a "terminating vista") of St Paul's south façade is presented from across the river, framed by the bridge supports.

A different view of the Lloyd's Building in London. To me, it looks very sci-fi and reminds me of some dominos stacked on one another, hence the title.

7 Lothbury The City of London
Venetian Gothic building Grade II. The Former Oversears Bankers Club, designed by Architect George Somers Clarke in 1868. Like so many old buildings in London it fell into disuse and disrepair despite its Grade II listing. In 2005 the buildings new owners investment company TIgerwater, approached specialist developers Marlden, with a proposal for conversion to residential use. An apartment was recently sold for £995,000.
The Gasholders development at Kings Cross.
These grade 2 listed structures were constructed in 1821 as part of Pancras Gas Works, and were later nicknamed the Siamese Triplets as they were adjoined at the centre by a common steel structure. Pancras Gas Works was the largest gas storage and supplier of Town Gas in London, and it’s gas was produced from the adjacent coal depot Coal Drops yard which acquired its stock from the coal fields of Yorkshire. These Gasholders were painstakingly dismantled and refurbished whilst development of the land commenced, then re-instated to surround these luxury apartments, a stunning architectural achievement in my opinion that considers the need to incorporate local history within new development of run down areas of London!
Designed by C.Botterill, Borough Surveyor, c.1900. Tudor-revival style with exposed oak timbers on upper exterior. London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.

Designed by John Partridge and Roy Stout of the LCC, 1961, a slightly later completion of the Alton West estate, although this was always in the masterplan as a marker block. Roehampton library slides through its undercroft. Unfortunately these buildings did not get included in the estate's listing and for reasons hard to comprehend, they have been slated for demolition. Roehampton, London Borough of Wandsworth.

This Grade II listed Victorian Conservatory was originally built at the Horniman family house at Coombe Cliffe, Croydon, in 1894. By 1982, it had fallen into disrepair. The structure was dismantled and moved to its current site where it was beautifully restored with the help of English Heritage. It re-opened in 1989 and is used for performances, workshops, and as a function room. (www.horniman.ac.uk)

St Pancras Station's mid-19th century roots lie in the need for the Midland Railway to better compete for goods and passenger traffic in the South of England.
In 1865, a competition was held to design the front façade of the station including a new hotel. George Gilbert Scott, the most celebrated Gothic architect of his day, won the competition even though his design was larger than the rules allowed.
Here we see part of the hotel which fronts the railway. The hotel’s construction began in 1868, completed 8 years later in 1876.
This station now acts as a gateway to Europe and this is from where we took the Eurostar to Paris.
