London by Night Sightseeing Tour

Ten years ago when I was commuting to Russia via London I took this bus tour and enjoyed it very much. Since it started at Green Park station, just around the corner from my hotel, I decided to book it again. Although it was a cold night, it wasn't raining and I sat on the upper level with an Australian lady who was touring the world while her husband stayed home in Brisbane looking after their kids. She was good company, and the sights around town were often quite remarkable. Here are a few photos. I highly recommend this 90 minute outing.

While my hotel looked good in the daytime, it looked great in the evening.

While many of the English pubs have lost their 'old world character' on the inside, they often look terrific on the outside.

You have to take this photo!

One of the remarkable things about London is that there are not a lot of illuminated billboards or advertising, but Picadilly Circus is an exception.

Christmas decorations were just starting to be installed, and it was only late October.
