Wandering around London

Last week I spent a couple of days wandering around London in between long stretches of time sitting in the Ghanian High Commission applying for and collecting a visa for my upcoming trip.
 I'm off to Ghana a week today, but for now here are some pictures of my London trip.
 
 
1. People queing to take their pictures with the 9 3/4 sign
2. Platform 93/4
3. Kings Cross is now fancy
4. St Pancras
5&6. Lavender in front of the British Library
7. Surfing in the City
8&9. Southwark Cathedral, their new stained glass for the Jubilee
10. The Thames with St Paul's in the background
11. Disco pavement underneath London Bridge
12.Along the riverbank, Tower of London, Tower Bride, Canary Wharf and some sort of warship
13. 221b Baker Street, home of Mr Holmes
14. Sherlock's house
15. Fancy railings
16. Pigeons and a piece of blue sky

    Love the photos. The sky looks a little gloomy but it is nice to have a glimpse of blue sky!
