New York to London

Almost five years in London, and this past Saturday I finally made the pilgrimage to American-style shopping mall the Westfield Stratford.

This was in the backyard of my house this afternoon.

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely spending their time separating the recycling.

The uppermost viewing platform at The Shard is open to the air.

Another view from the top of The Shard.

Earlier this evening from the the viewing platform at the top of The Shard, the tallest building in Western Europe.

I’d never seen the two buildings from this angle, from a position just north of King’s Cross.

In Holborn.
