The following pictures are from a past trip to London in February 2006.  All shots were taken in central London.  Click on the thumbnail for the full size version.  Most of these files are well over 500k in size, so if you still have dial up, well, it may take a while.  All photos were taken with my trusty Canon 300D.  e-mail me.

Here we see the No. 12 heading for Oxford Circus and calling on Peckham, Camberwell and Elephant. I like the reflections in the windshield, in which can be seen some of the numerous CCTV cameras that can be found in London.

Introduced in 1954, here we see one of the last remaining Routemaster buses blurring by while operating a 'Heritage' route.

A police wagon parked in St. James's Park.

A view of the London Eye and the County Hall on the South Bank, as seen from the Westminster Bridge. The County Hall Gallery hosts the Dali Museum and the London Aquarium, among other things.

Here is a full view of County Hall.  The building was opened in 1933 by King George V and served as the headquarters for local London government for the next 60 odd years.

A view up the River Thames as seen from the Westminster Bridge. On the right, obviously, is the London Eye.

Looking up at the main support beams of the London Eye while standing nearly directly underneath.

Here is a good peek at the intricate cabling and wire system that holds the London Eye together. I would not want to climb that ladder!

An interesting look upwards taken from the Golden Jubilee Bridge.

What London photography collection would be complete without a look at Big Ben?

An interesting picture of the Queen's Coat of Arms atop some rather heavy wrought iron gates.

A view of Waterloo Station, in Lambeth, taken from the London Eye.  On the left is the Shell Building.

Here is the statue of George Washington in front of the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square.  Apparently, the soil underneath this statue was imported from the U.S., as Washington declared he would never set foot on British soil again.

Like many pubs in Whitehall, The Lord Moon of The Mall is heavily frequented by both tourists and government employees who work nearby.

Another nice little pub in Whitehall is The Clarence.  Apparently, there has been a pub or inn of some kind on this site since the 1600s.  Scotland Yard was originally located just across the street.

Bright sunlight illuminates two of these iconic phone booths, one with a fresher coat of paint than the other.

A row of Remembrance crosses with the traditional artificial poppies is seen at the cenotaph.

The Cabinet War Rooms is always a nice visit, and well worth the time.  Churchill directed the British efforts in WWII from these bunkers.

A study here of the statue of Robert Clive, located right next to the Cabinet War Rooms.  Clive was a key figure in the establishment of British control of India.

St. Martins Church is located just off of Trafalgar Square.  The church is currently undergoing a £34 million renovation project.

A nice look at Admiralty Arch, originally commissioned by King Edward VII in memory of his mother Queen Victoria.

Yet another statue, this one commemorating Field Marshal Douglas Haig, the 1st Earl Haig.
