London: Open House and more

[jeremai]

This past weekend was the annual London Open House event and the weather couldn't have been better (just like last year).

I was lucky enough to get pre-book tickets for a tour of the Willis building, one of the newest office buildings in the City of London.

Views from the 23rd floor terrace:









Lloyds of London reflections in exterior of Willis building:




Another open building; the lobby of the Daily Express building on Fleet Street:








Inside the Royal Courts of Justice:




Random, Mellon Financial Centre and an older building near Blackfriars:


Touristy; the sky was so blue I couldn't resist!






Porticullis House exterior; no photography was allowed inside:


On to Chinatown for dinner:


Then a movie, a stroll, and a few night shots along the way:

You just reminded me I haven't signed up yet for any of the tours at Open House New York! Probably too late to get into anything interesting.

Great shots. It's cool getting an inside look at some of these buildings we usually just get to admire from the street.
