London at Night

London has been a fun and cool experience so far. 

It's a bit strange because,  as I write this, it is just after six in the morning GMT. Early, and earlier than I would have preferred waking up, but so be it. 

Anyway,  my point was that it feels like we have been here longer than that. My son and I took naps after the big meal yesterday. 

Between that and the distinctly split visits to London, one early in the day and the other at night, it felt like we had already been here longer than just a day. 

Adding to the differences between our morning and evening visits, the morning was very rainy and chilly,  which again felt like a real London experience. But in the evening, it was dry and almost warm. Again, it enhanced the feeling that these had been two separate days, even though it was the same day. 

Yet now, we will shortly begin our second day in London,  and our first full day here. 

That said, yesterday was also our first full,  24-hour day in Europe. 

I had a post ready for yesterday, but opted to create and publish a whole new one, which included many of the pictures taken in London. 

It seemed like a good idea to do the same for the second half of our London visit,  with some night shots. 

Below are some pictures from our visit to London at night yesterday.  We visited the Tower of London (outside) and the Tower Bridge, Big Ben and Parliament,  Westminister Abbey, and Piccadilly Circus.  There are also some night shots of the London skyline as well.  

Unfortunately, the floodlights at Big Ben and Parliament were out on the side facing the Thames. They can still be made out, but it doesn't look quite as spectacular in my opinion. 

Enjoy!
