A Snapshot of... London

Being a tourist at Piccadilly Circus

Although I've had my DSLR since March, it was only recently that I finally had the opportunity to go into central London and snap up some shots of the city. After meeting my talented friend George (check his stuff out) at King's Cross, I then walked all the way back to Waterloo. In case you're unaware, that's quite a long walk and I made it even longer, taking a couple of hours to visit some of London's landmarks. Here are my favourites from the day!

Drury but not dreary: The brightest doorway in London?

It's all go on the Strand

Leicester Square looking autumnal in the sun

I really enjoyed becoming a tourist in my own city for the day, wandering around solo, and given how many times I've been mistaken for a non-Brit ("No, I wish I was Spanish or Italian"), I probably looked like I was on holiday!

Looking forward to a catch-up with the Queen
