Images of London.

Highlights of my initial stay in London included visits to Harrods and Fortnum and Masons to look at the food and clothes, and the Battersea Power Station redevelopment. I also enjoyed kosher fish and chips at my cousin's home and other sights as illustrated below. 

For many decades the Battersea Power Station had fallen into disrepair. However en recent years, a major redevelopment has been underway with new retail, housing and office space. It is a truly vibrant neighbourhood with more than 60 restaurants

Inside the power station is a very elaborate multi-level retail development

the original building is now flanked by  a variety of new developments including this residential complex designed by Canada's Frank Gehry.

I thought the haddock was really good and quite different from the fsh and chips we get in Canada. But then this was fried in matzoh meal!

I really liked this sweater and tried it on. But when I looked at the price tag I decided to pass since it cost two and a half times as much as my parents' first house!

Yes, this sweater costs $33,275 CDN. But my wifes' friend said it's a very fine material.

The seafood at Harrods is of exceptional quality, but quite expensive.

This would nicely serve two people!

I thought these were dandy window displays

I would love to see more freehold (as opposed to condo) townhouses in Vancouver like these terraced flats.
