My last day in London, I took a trip to Greenwich before I had to get to the airport. The most important thing for me to do there was to see the GMT/UTC timeline and the Cutty Sark, which I did. After that I explored the town, market, and found the biggest meringues that one could ever eat.

Big Ben. Sitting atop the Palace of Westminster was one of the landmarks that I wanted to photograph the most. Below are pictures from multiple days over my visit to London. More than you probably ever wanted to see. 🙂

On my last full day in London my pedometer said I walked 10 miles! After work, I started at the Tower Bridge and walked all the way to Big Ben. I walked along the South Bank of the River Thames.
It was Friday night and it felt like everyone in London was out enjoying the wonderful weather along South Bank. I passed a lot of restaurants, theaters, food trucks, museums, and beautiful sites. Below are pictures from my walk. There will be two more Day 6 posts that have my pictures of the Tower Bridge, the Tate Modern, and Big Ben.

The Tower Bridge is beautiful during the day and at night. There is no more to say, my pictures are below.

On Day 5 I attended a lot of meetings but finally went to the meeting that I was originally scheduled to go to. The meeting was at the M By Montcalm Shoreditch in London Tech City. It was awesome to take pictures from the street and end up in the restaurant right beside the crane that I was seeing. The hotel is beautiful and the meal was excellent.

Harrods was such as special place that it needed its own post. Dior purses to chocolate to caviar, Harrods is the place to go. Old world charm yet new world elegance to palate satisfying goodies, awesome! Date of Visit – 7/20/2016
On Day 4, July 20, 2016, I continued my sightseeing and went to Trafalgar Square, the Twinings Tea Shop, and Harrods. Harrod’s pictures are in the next post.
London
On Day 3 I went to High Tea at Fortnum & Mason on the recommendation of a co-worker. I was not disappointed.
On day 2 of my visit to London I took the cruise that came with my Big Bus tour after work. On my way to my meetings I saw some awesome things but the best was the car on the rooftop restaurant. During the tour I got a lot of pictures and afterwards I went to Buckingham palace. During this day I noticed that London has some many old and new buildings and a lot of construction. All beautiful to see.
Our office and also the company that I was going to visit are in the London Financial District and Shoreditch area. One of my friends recommended the Hotel Indigo London Tower Hill as it is close to both locations. I usually don’t post hotel photos because we have all been there and done that. But this hotel was special in one very big way. It was the cheapest hotel that I found on our travel site. In fact, it didn’t show up until my friend mentioned it and I searched for it on the site.
It was between £109 to £189 per night. This compared to many hotels that were around £300 pounds per night made it especially attractive as a spot for business travel, but I was a little suspicious because it was the cheapest hotel on the list. 🙂
When I got there I was pleasantly surprised at this boutique hotel with wonderful décor. The front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I appreciated their warm greetings every morning and evening.
Below are some pictures of the Hotel Indigo London Tower Hill. If you ever get a chance to visit, I would truly recommend it.
