So the long awaited day arrived. Family Allen bundled off to our fair capital city and spent the afternoon eating, walking and taking photographs. Here are some of mine...

| Tower Bridge |

| The Tower of London |
At the end of this blog entry, I have repeated these two shots, but taken at night.
 |
| this is where we are going - The Shard |
We had toyed with trying to cancel the trip as the weather forecast had been pretty bad, however on the day it wasn't a complete write off, the daytime was a little too dull and overcast but after a quick downpour, which we missed as we were ascending The Shard, the clouds lifted and the view was every bit as spectacular as I had hoped for.

| London's River Thames |
 |
| we're quite high up! |
As the light started to fade, The City turned on it's lights and began to look really quite special
 |
| St Paul's as the light starts to fade |
 |
| Westminster, Buckingham Palace and The London Eye |
No tripods were allowed so getting a steady hand-held shot using night time exposures and focussing past the rain spattered windows certainly proved to be a bit of a challenge
 |
| The River Thames and Canary Wharf |

| River Thames |
 |
| Tower Bridge and Docklands |
We finally came back down to earth and I couldn't resist the chance for a couple of quick shots of the sites at ground level.
