Ali went to London....

...and all he brought back was these lousy photos.

I had a bit of spare time while in London on business and as it was a nice day I decided to have a bit of a wander. Over the course of 20,000 steps I took a bunch of photos and the full set is on Flickr. However here are a few of my favourites.

1. There's quite a few buildings that are currently facades while they build a new body.

2. My first time across the Millenium Bridge and they first time I realised that St Pauls imposes the skyline as you look northwards. I love the juxtaposition of the ancient with the new.

3. The revelation that cheese never sleeps. This shop is just round the corner from London Bridge station and alongside the big market.

4. Drake's ship. The worlds first martitime museum and what strikes me about this is how small it is. I can't imagine travelling the world with a boatload of men in such a small space.
