Architecture: London

This is the final post of my London report and I decided to save the best till last, namely the architecture of the city. It has many gothic influences while The City is home to many modern landmarks. On the whole, it is a city of extremes and different tastes as you will see below.

Christmas in London

During our visit to London, we noticed the transformation was complete. The city had been thorougly decorated with Christmas lights, a celebratory market in Hyde park and special sales on Oxford Street and beyond. The holiday was being promoted all over London and we took some photographs to capture the prettiest decorations.

Feeding Squirrels in London

So we went to several parks in London and fed some squirrels. I have to tell you, squirrels are my favourite animals of all time and I've never gotten quite this close to them. So, to document the great event for posterity, we took photographs and the following video of a squirrel being fed and squirreling all over the place almost too fast for me to keep up:



And a few photographs of the fuzzy little critters. My uncle took these pictures so please link back if you'd like to use them elsewhere:
