From Victoria to Bank via the number 11 bus

Sightseeing in London on a rainy day. The number 11 bus goes through historic neighborhoods and past interesting sites...

Elizabeth Tower, where the famous bell know as Big Ben hangs, and the Houses of Parliament

Approaching Trafalgar Square

Nelson's Column

Horace Jones' Temple Bar marker topped by Charles Bell Birch's heraldic dragon marks the point in London where Fleet Street, City of London, becomes The Strand, Westminster. The City of London traditionally erected a barrier at this spot to regulate trade. It is the most important entrance to London from Westminster.

The Gherkin (30 St. Mary Axe) and St. Paul's Cathedral separated by a new skyscraper still under construction.

The Pinnacle was supposed to be another remarkable addition to London's skyline, however construction has been halted, and the future of this project is unclear. The project, also known as the Bishopsgate tower, was put on hold with just 7 storeys of its concrete core in place, and  this has led to the project garnering its own, somewhat disparaging, nickname: “The Stump.”
