London

A view of London from above...
30 St Mary Axe (informally known as the Gherkin and previously as the Swiss Re Building) is a commercial skyscraper in London's primary financial district, the City of London
A view of The Gherkin from the Tower of London.
Gerkin Reflection.

Whilst having a wander around the Gerkin and the immediate area looking for angles and light. I turned my back on the Gerkin and found this reflection which gave we some interesting angles and perspective with the wide angle lens.
30 St Mary Axe, popularly known as "The Gherkin", with the church of St Andrew Undershaft in the foreground - two of the faces of London (a walk down Leadenhall Street really brings this home, with churches and the famous Leadenhall Market squeezed between modern structures). Taken March 2017.

Royal Garden has become my favorite place to stay in London. The rooms are so well appointed and well thought out. Every member of staff I encountered from the start of my visit to the end was kind, helpful, and accommodating. The location is incredibly convenient. Recommend completely.
