London – Banken Viertel, Towerbridge & Themse

Am ersten vollen Tag gings früh raus Richtung Banken-Viertel zwischen der St. Paul Kathedrale und der Towerbridge. Nach einem kurzen Abstecher zum St. Pancras Hotel und dem King’s Cross Bahnhof waren wir endlich da und konnten uns voll zwischen den großen Gebäuden mit Reflexionen und schönem Architekturdesign austoben 🙂 Danach gings über die Towerbridge an der Themse entlange Richtung Waterloo Metro, wo’s nen Tunnel gibt in welchem Graffities erlaubt sind. Abends wieder Piccadilly Circus, da es geregnet hat haben wir einen der Busse genommen und mal ein bisschen die Umgebung damit erkundet bevor wir dann hundemüde vor lauter Lauferei ins Bett gefallen sind.
