It's just not British: sights to see in London in winter

One thing I am a big fan of is London architecture. Whilst I'm told other European cities are much prettier, there is something to be said for these endless, short-storied apartment blocks that seem to go on forever ... the following picture is taken on the street where I was staying in Bayswater:



There's lots of cool old stuff too. From the majestic St Paul's Cathedral ...



... to the historic tower of London, which used to guard against bad guys. Or so they say. Now to get in, it's a princely 15 pounds (almost $40!) just to see the crown jewels! A cheaper option is to go ice skating near the moat next to the tower ...



... Apart from that, there's cool historic/old/antiquated/nice-looking buildings and statues everywhere, dotted around shops and train stations ...
