PIMLICO

Back in Pimlico, hanging out until the end of term.

Very British

Red phone box, Westminster Abbey. The sun is a little uncharacteristic though.

Albert Bridge

The Albert Bridge. The sign on the Battersea Park side says "TROOPS MUST BREAK STEP WHEN CROSSING THIS BRIDGE", apparently because it tends to vibrate when lots of people walk over it.

Battersea

"Warm weather is unpleasant". Back in London.

Dear Abbey

Exploring the the Westminster Abbey cloisters.

The Influence of Battersea Power on History

It was sunny for about an hour on Friday so I went for a walk along the river.

LDN

Because of the tube strike, traffic was a nightmare and so I walked walked to the movies + dinner in Soho, going through Westminster and Whitehall. I'm going to a wedding in St. Margaret's Church (third picture down) next weekend.

Remembrance Day, Whitehall

An unusually sunny fall day near Whitehall for Remembrance Day. Lots of headgear: bowlers, berets, turbans, shiny helmets with plumes, and bearskins.

Battersea Power Station

Battersea Power Station on a warm fall day. Same place this time last year.

Regency Cafe

Late night, followed by English breakfast at the Regency Cafe near Westminster. 

Checkerboard Apartments on Page St

There's a whole street of these near the Regency Cafe. Walking down that street feels like you're in the "Don't Come around Here No More" video.

My Night with Philosophers

Turns out people in London really want to hear some philosophy talks. Even at 4:30 in the morning.

National Maritime Museum

Ships' badges, figureheads, and models from the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.

Night Soccer at Pimlico Academy

I pass these guys on my way home on weekday nights. How can I join this league?

The Barbican

I've been dragging out winter vacation by slowly posting California pictures, but I've been back in England for several weeks.

No. 10

Went to a party next door (No. 11).

Blue Eye

Walking home from late late dinner at Joe Allen.

Parliament Funkadelic

Running around in Parliament.

Royal Hospital Chelsea

The Royal Hospital Chelsea has a very Oxfordy Great Hall, with long lists of the locations of British military actions since the 17th century written on the walls. The British have a long history in Afghanistan.

Fall Walk in Battersea Park

Glorious fall day in Battersea Park.
