St Paul's, Tower 42 and the Gherkin
The National Theatre
London's City by night
I found myself walking across Waterloo Bridge this evening, and stopped to snap a couple of photos. I’m a massive fan of how London looks by night, and today was one of those crystal clear days when you can see for absolutely miles around.
The first photo is looking back into the City, with the three main buildings (L-R) St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower 42 (the old Natwest Tower), and the Gherkin (30 St Mary Axe, technically).
The second is the National Theatre, on the south bank of the Thames directly next to Waterloo Bridge. This is part of a little collection of brutalist-style buildings in the area, which many people think are an eyesore because they are very simple concrete geometric shapes, with no real features. I’m a big fan, to be honest. I like the simplicity, and especially now that they are lit up at night they look pretty spectacular.
The final photo is a wider view of the City skyline, of which the first is a crop.
