London Baby!

Without gushing too much, we stayed in London last weekend and the hotel was bloody marvelous! I would highly recommend the Apex, City of London Hotel to all! Great (good looking?) staff, friendly, courteous and professional. Very clean and modern throughout with a rather fabulous room - filled with mod cons, filter coffee, walk in wet-room type shower, lovely toiletries, complimentary dressing gown and slippers (well on our room rate anyway!)

OK, so we didn't actually fork out that much for the room either... www.booking.com provided the deal and we snatched it up... Also enjoyed the slightly above standard luxury of first class train there and back at a reasonable price! East Midlands trains really do need to update their current rolling stock though... The toilet was terrible!

So - a whole weekend in London - what would we do...? Take photographs of course! I came back with about 200! I've filtered those down to a mere 70 that I'm getting developed and we'll see how the edits go from there... Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the Millennium Eye and Bridge, Tate Modern, City Hall and a whole load of people were framed and snapped and whilst I can't show you the whole lot, I'll certainly add a few for you here:

Red London bus passing by the Gherkin!


The Gherkin (amazing building) reflected in another tower block!


The Lloyds Building(?) Absolutely amazing! Like the set of a Dr Who epsiode!


Chillin' near City Hall!



The roof of a random mall-thing near City Hall!

As I say, these're just a few snapshots... I'll be fiddling, editing, de-colourising and cropping a fair few images for a while but I'll add more favourites as I go along! Jxx
