Neat looking buildings. I love the gold statues diving off of the building.
where did you take this picture from?
That is an interesting view but unless I am wrong, isn't it picaddily circus that we see in this picture?
Great city shot. I love the glass and gold dome.
I miss London!
I saw Gary Glitter in Leicester Square once. And hasn’t that story lost its lustre!
I had to open it up to see Jim' diving statues - they are quite magnificent. Is there a story behind them? When you look at the larger image it is astounding how many things in the picture are red. Quite a joy to look at.
I have to knoe to where did you take this from. It's a a terrific overview. Not used to seeing this area from this angle, it's fabulous.
Post card shot!! Awesome!
Wonderful city shot- I've never seen anything like it and I love it!
This is Leicester Square. Taken from a building opposite the building currently being demolished.
Beautiful buildings! The sky is gloomy though.
