Lookit. More London! You know ... I never knew that Higitus Figitus was quite as cleverly worded as it is, considering it's part of a pretty bad rendition of the legend of King Arthur. I rather like it. Mind you, there's a lot of pictures under this cut, so beware if you have a slow connection.





Incase you were confused XD

My bad humor: we're sitting in a non-local bus by that sign, and we were there for a good while.

The street that we were sitting on.

"Sir Patrick Manson: Father of Modern Tropical Medicine" - that would be the sign above his house.

The London Arch, covered for cleaning.

J.M. Barry's house.

Pretty statue.

Pretty building. There are lots of those.

There is, in fact, a reason why I took this picture. I just can't remember it. It has something to do with that gate.

This building was originally a violin school, I believe, but now it is the residence of the Arabic ambassador.

The Albert Memorial.

Close-up. The whole thing is gold plated.

The stop of the statue.

The Natural History Museam.

The side of the Duke's house. I just can't remember who the Duke was.

Boudicca's Statue, from very far away.

The backwards-pointing Cupid in Piccadilly Square.

Oh look. Me. Don't I just ruin everything?

Changing of the horse guard.

I believe this is Kensington Palace, but don't quote me on that.

Nice looking statue, but blurred because of the bus.

Westminster Abbey.

Big Ben. Because no trip to London is complete without it.

Me again! Aren't you sick of seeing me? I'm in a bathroom XD

The picture was taken for the column, which is in between Big Ben and Westminster Abbey.

Three guesses what this place is and the first two don't count.

The view from our hotel room.

Portebello Road. Everyone knows this place. Or they should, providing they've seen Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

The house of George Orwell.

The clock at King's Cross Station.

The north side of King's Cross.

The south side of King's Cross.

Standing between platforms 9 and 10. Not really. King's Cross doesn't actually have 10 platforms.

The sign declaring King's Cross to be King's Cross.

Yeah, that was our day trip. Special thing they were doing - Muggle tours; apparently Hogwarts is a little short on funding XD

But now you get to see them in big-size.

Probably so, but London came first XD
