LONDON

A city so big that it actually has two moderately-sized cities inside it – city of London (founded by Romans in 5th century AD) and city of Westminster (created in 1965). The city which owes its existence to the Thames – the river that once a sewer. The city that has seen too many Elizabeth’s and yet it sings ‘God save the Queen’ dutifully -- with a funny accent and a stiff upper lip to boot. The city forever under construction where people are forever stuck in traffic. The city with a thousand splendid facades bearing ten thousand surveillance cameras.

BUCKINGHAM PALACE 

TOWER BRIDGE OF LONDON

THE TOWER OF LONDON: a castle, not a tower

BOUDICA: the Queen who took on the mighty Romans

Dil toh bachcha hai ji

London from the London Eye



She's too young for that expression

A BEEFEATER at the Tower of London

Try getting a chick with hair like that...
