The sun was shining today, it was unseasonably warm and the crowds were out by the Tower of London at lunchtime.

I left work a little earlier than usual today and so it was still light when I walked across London Bridge which gave me an opportunity to see just how tall The Shard is getting. It hardly seems like yesterday when you could look down into the foundations just outside London Bridge station.

Although more and more tall buildings are being built in Canary Wharf and at various other random locations in London, such as the Razor at Elephant and Castle and the Shard at London Bridge, when you are in the City the omnipresent sight is the Swiss Re building or the Gherkin as it is more commonly known.

Nice weather at lunchtime today, so I decided to go for a walk and take a look at the river...

I was meeting a friend in Victoria after work this evening and as I walked to the tube station I thought the Tower of London looked rather nice in the dusk and the glow of the street lamps. Shame about the scaffolding round one of the turrets!
