London at Night

Well I originally had some of these pictures in the previous post as well as a few scattered throughout other posts, but I decided they really deserved their own post. My favorite thing about London was seeing it all light up at night. All the sights are even more beautiful at night and the city has such a different, quiet, almost peaceful feel. See for yourself why I lived the city at night so much!

Regent Street at Night

Markets and outdoor dining

Bridge Views - Eye and Parliament from Waterloo Bridge

Looking at MI6 from the Westminster Bridge

St Paul's and the Shard from Golden Jubilee/Hungerford Bridge

The Eye normally (on the 15 minute mark the building turns red, normally blue)

Green for Halloween (though looks more like Christmas)

Coming out of Westminster Tube Station

The Shard

St Paul's Cathedral

London Bridge

Tower Bridge

Tower of London & Tower Bridge

An English Autumn

Windsor Castle

As multiple people have reminded me, I have clearly neglected my duties of keeping you all updated and providing pictures on the blog. So now that I finally have some time (post international moving, grad school, and holidays), it's time for me to catch up a bit! Since I have several posts to do, I will just do a highlights post for September/October in London, followed by our trip to Ireland, then our last few weeks in London, and eventually a Christmas and current happenings post; wow I do have a lot to catch up on! So here it goes....
