Just to share with everyone the few places I had visited during my trip down to London. This post is more like a random guide to places of interest in London :).

St. Pancras is a the terminus of East Midlands Trains linking London with east midlands cities such as Derby, Leicester and Nottingham. It is a major railway station in United Kingdom which is also the home of the Eurostar train, the default the gateway for your transit to other part of europes.


The statue of John Betjeman in the station, celebrating his role in saving the station from demolition whereby in the 1960s the station was seen as redundant and was about to be closed down. Attempts to close down the station by government provoked strong and successful opposition which was led by John Betjeman.


The station is well celebrated for it's Victorian architecture which is listed as Grade 1 building. The station is located at Euston road in between the British Library and King's Cross Station.




Out from St. Pancras, the King Cross station is the nearest Underground Tube's Station. The London Underground or Tube is a rapid transit system connecting up London and neighboring areas. It is one of the most sophisticated underground rapid transit station which was built up of a total of 11 lines. It has a total of 270 stations and a roughly 400 km of track, making it the longest metro system in the world by route length. Each of the trains of different lines are well defined in different color-code. This was designed in such a way to make it easier to identify the different lines. As shown in picture below, a red line is the Central Line which is operating between west and east bounds neighboring areas cutting across the center London.


The classic red telephone box in London. It was originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. The telephone box is colored in red to make them easy to spot. It had become one of the classic thingie in London as you can see miniature model of it being made as souvenir key chains as well as fridge magnet :). For those who had checked my souvenir's page will know that I have bought a couple of it too.


As you all know, London is really a world class city and it could have been a city of entertainments. London offers some of the world's best theater and musicals, from West End favorites to cutting edge productions.You will never gonna run out of activities in the city.




Trafalgar Square is a square in central London, England. With its position in the heart of London, it is a tourist attraction; and one of the most famous squares in the United Kingdom and the world. When the square was first built in 1845, the fountains' primary purpose was not aesthetics, but rather to reduce the open space available and the risk of riotous assembly. They were originally fed by a steam engine behind the National Gallery from an artesian well underground.


The Nelson's Column in the center of Trafalgar Square, which is guarded by four lion statues at its base. Statues and sculptures are on display in the square, including a fourth plinth displaying changing pieces of contemporary art, and it is a site of political demonstrations.


The National Gallery of London, it was founded in 1824 and houses a rich collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900 in its home on Trafalgar Square too.




The red double-decker buses are commonly seen at London down town :).




St. James's Palace is one of London's oldest palaces. It is situated in Pall Mall, just north of St. James's Park. Although no sovereign has resided there for almost two centuries, it is considered the most senior royal palace in the UK and gives its name to the Royal Court (the "Court of St. James's").


War memorial monument.




The Monument to the Great Fire of London, is a 202 ft (61.57 metre) tall stone Roman Doric column in the City of London, England near to the northern end of London Bridge.






30 St Mary Axe, also known as the Gherkin. It is a skyscraper in London's main financial district, the City of London, completed in December 2003 and opened on 28 April 2004. It is 180 metres (591 ft) tall, with 40 floors. Its erection symbolised the start of a new high-rise construction boom in London.


Piccadilly Circus is a famous road junction and public space of London's West End in the City of Westminster, built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with the major shopping street of Piccadilly. In this context a circus, from the Latin word meaning a circle, is a circular open space at a street junction.




A very busy shopping street - Regent Street. Even at night time around 9pm you can still see the crowd walking along the streets doing shopping. A huge variety of goods are selling there and you will easily spend the whole day walking around this place. There are just too many shops for you to visit one by one and I bet you will never be able to finish in a day :). Just too many!
