This night photograph was taken in Leadenhall Market, one of the oldest markets in London (from the 14th century) and located in the historic centre of the City of London financial district. The ornate roof structure and cobbled floors of the current structure was designed in 1881. It was a quiet evening with few visitors.
According to Wikipedia, Leadenhall Market was used to represent the area of London near the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley in the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Best wishes for the new week!
London is a city that I have always wanted to visit and we traveled there last week for my son’s school vacation. I knew that I wanted to photograph the Elizabeth Tower (mostly known as Big Ben) at night and because the Thames River and clouds were rapidly moving I wanted to shoot it as a long exposure. I ended up using a 20 second shutter speed which smoothed out the moving water and clouds, created starbursts to the street lights on the bridge and quieted everything in the composition down.
City Hall is on the left and on the right the Shard - a great view of this area of the city and I was very, very luck y to catch such a beautiful sky
This photo was taken two days before the terrorist attacks, remember those who died in the incident. 這張照片是倫敦恐襲兩天前拍的，在此不禁慨歎生命無常，悼念那些受害者
The London Eye, or the Millennium Wheel, is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, and the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over three million visitors annually. It has made many appearances in popular culture. The structure is 135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres (394 ft). When it opened to the public in 2000 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel.
The National Rail station is officially named London Paddington, a name commonly used outside London but rarely by Londoners, who call it just Paddington, as on the London Underground map.
This same practice applies to all the London mainline rail termini, except London Bridge.
Parts of the station, including the main train shed, date from 1854, when it was built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel as the London terminus for the Great Western Railway (GWR).
It is one of eleven stations in London managed by Network Rail

Das London Eye (engl. „Auge von London“), auch bekannt unter der Bezeichnung Millennium Wheel, ist mit einer Höhe von 135 Metern das höchste Riesenrad Europas.
Es steht im Zentrum von London am Südufer der Themse nahe der Westminster Bridge und gilt als eines der Wahrzeichen der britischen Hauptstadt.
Baubeginn des Riesenrades war 1998. Am 10. Oktober 1999 wurde die Konstruktion aufgerichtet.
My only shot from a morning visit to the London Tube. One of the lines I had planned to shoot was shut down for weekend service, and another had an accident so that line was down.
I took this shot of iconic symbol of London the Tower Bridge this summer. It is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in the city of London. It spans the River Thames, connecting the London boroughs of Tower Hamlets at North side and Southwark at south side. It has two towers linked by two walkways and suspended sections to either side of the towers, stretching towards the banks of the Thames. It's one of the most mesmerizing structures in London and you can never get enough of it!

El London Eye ('Ojo de Londres'), también conocido como Millennium Wheel ('Noria del milenio'), es una noria-mirador de 135 m situada sobre el extremo occidental de los Jubilee Gardens, en el South Bank del Támesis, distrito londinense de Lambeth, entre los puentes de Westminster y Hungerford. La noria está junto al County Hall y frente a las oficinas del Ministerio de Defensa.
Finalizadas la obras en 1999 y abierto al público en marzo de 2000, fue la mayor del mundo hasta la apertura de la Estrella de Nanchang en mayo de 2006 y la posterior Singapore Flyer en 2008.
El London Eye cuenta con 32 cabinas para pasajeros selladas y climatizadas, de 8 metros de longitud y 4 metros de diámetro que en lugar de estar colgadas de la estructura como sucede en la mayoría de las norias están sujetas a la parte superior de la rueda mediante dos anillos y tienen un sistema mecánico de estabilización que mantiene a la cápsula nivelada. Este sistema evita el problema del balanceo propio de las norias y permite una mayor visibilidad desde el interior de la cápsula, ya que la estructura y construcción no obstaculizan la visión.
