I spent most of the day on Monday at the Tate Britan Museum. Of course, everyone has heard of the Tate Modern but the Tate Britain was here long before that huge Tate Modern building was converted into an art gallery.
The Tate Britain has its own architectural beauty. Even though it's a much older building, it has the same design concepts that dazzle.
A perfect example is the black and white spiral staircase that runs down to the lower level at the museum.
After I finished at the museum, I walked along the Millbank next to the museum and wondered at all the new buildings that have gone up since the last time I was here. London is growing at an amazing speed.
I walked all the way up to Westminster and the Parliament buildings. These are always an iconic sight for London.
It was supposed to rain today and I'm sure it did in other parts of the city. Most of my day was dry and chilly until late in the evening when a mild drizzle started. In other words, it worked out rather nicely.

Love the City, thank you for taking us along.
London is on my must-sees list! Thank you for sharing your adventures there.
That staircase is amazing, Sharon. I'm so glad the weather worked out for you. Looking forward to more pics.
The weather cooperated... and you had a very pleasant day in London.
The staircase is amazing. Glad the weather wasn't bad for you.
All that black and white design work makes me dizzy.
A magnificent museum.
It's been very well built, love the ceiling.
The spiral staircase shot is fabulous!
London IS growing amazingly fast. I think a lot of these new high-rises are condos bought by foreign investors. I'm not sure anyone lives in them.
Stunning photos, and what a great set of shots. Nicely done!
