I did my shopping on Thursday so I had Friday to do whatever I wanted. I decided to head south of the Thames and check out the area I stayed in 18 years ago. (where does the time go?) I took the tube to the London Bridge station, emerged from the station and had no idea where I was. I thought I'd recognize the area around the station but it was completely different. I eventually found my way.
Among all the new buildings I found a series of whimsical sculptures that were attracting a lot of young children and their parents. Truth be told, they were attracting the older set too. They were all created by the art team of Gillie & Marc.
Aren't these fun? I loved them all.
By the time this gets posted, I'll be sitting at the airport waiting for my flight. But my London photos won't stop. I've got so many good ones that I'm sure I'll find a way to squeeze some more in.
Ha, great art, and a classic London view.
