Tower Bridge, not London Bridge




Among the interesting things to learn in London is that the London Bridge, the one that replaced the old London Bridge now located in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, is NOT the bridge most people think. It is a bridge or two down from the Tower Bridge, seen here, which is also NOT named for the Towers you see rising from the Thames.
Rather, it is the bridge that leads directly to the Tower of London, on the north bank and just to the left of the bridge as depicted here. And none of the bridges in London appears to be in danger of falling down.
Another location of wonder on our trip, visited just before tea at Harrod's (loved the scones!) was St. Paul's Cathedral. The central dome as seen above is just one of many jaw-dropping vistas in this, known more as the People's Cathedral. It is not to be missed.
Next post is on toward Stratford.

Feel free to let me know what you think. It is exciting to think that some of my photography might be enjoyed by others.
