London - New Year's

LSyd · #1 Posted **Jan 12, 2013, 11:02 PM**

i went to London with my wife over new year's to meet up with our sister-in-law who was in the new year's day parade and see VNV Nation. and enjoy a great city. unfortunately my D90 fell off the hotel's windowsill shortly after the midnight fireworks, but i had a point and shoot backup for new year's day

When you live in a city that receives over 300 days of sunshine a year, you can appreciate the dreariness of London.

This one is magical. Can someone tell me where this was taken?

That's Sloane Square looking down Sloane Street in Knightsbridge.

What the hell was that dull song to the thread? "I want control"?

Easy, easy... Sound of décadence.
Some great pics BTW.

I couldn't help but to let out a kind of loud laugh when I saw the Bartholomew Hospital sculpture thing in #8, lol
