United Kingdom: London - Summer 2011

No. of pictures: 21 pictures
Published: 24.10.2011

Anyone who visited the British capital certainly took a lot of experiences. I was in some of London's streets and landmarks only briefly, and it accompanied us changeable weather. About few experiences, captured in memory in my camera, I want to share with you. It was just short time after the ceremony which started last 365 days before the Olympic Games the 2012.  And day before, as night began to riots that rocked the entire Kingdom. Everyone certainly has its scope of what attracts him the most. For me it was the Globe Theatre, Millennium Bridge, a modern Gherkin (reminiscent Eurovea of Bratislava), but also the construction of the tallest building in Europe "Shard", which next year is to reach 310 m (official name is said to London Bridge Tower, but call it home shard of Glass, a glass shard) and also the group 'party' round. Of course nobody can´t miss the most famous monuments - Tower Bridge and the Tower, where we didn´t care to stand in long queue to see the royal jewels, St. Paul's Cathedral etc. Are these also your favourite places?
