in the background, you can see The Shard, an iconic skyscraper built in 2012, standing 310 meters tall on the south side of the Thames.

a spectacular view from Sky Garden, a spot with great value for money and an amazing atmosphere, especially around dusk.

London, a city that never sleeps, caught between tradition, economic ambition, and an open future

Saint Paul’s Cathedral stands prominently in the frame

it's surprising how complex systems, like large cities, find order. How complex can civilizations become?

the London Eye hides subtly in the background

what must it feel like to stand at the top?

I was truly impressed by the night views from Sky Garden

it’s the many details that have elevated these views to something special

Tower Bridge – majestic, monumental, and proud

walking through the bridge, the sheer size is quite surprising

one of the quieter spots in London, and architecturally fascinating

overall, I was surprised by how architecturally diverse London is

despite this diversity, everything forms a cohesive, aesthetic whole

and it's not just about façades but also the architectural forms

Victoria Memorial

the statue of Sir Winston Churchill standing before Big Ben

from places like this, tourists emerge from Westminster station and flood the streets.

within arm’s reach: The London Eye

"Owo" :D

arriving in Chinatown, there's a different energy, yet everything still speaks of openness and welcome

and everywhere, double-decker buses – something I’ve come to appreciate since Galway, Ireland

what can't be missed: small or large side streets – no matter the size, they’re always full of adventure!

the famous Harrods – with many luxury dreams, and some affordable surprises like the Harrods Teddy Bear

the Albert Pub – a classic Victorian pub

and what would this photo collection be without even more double-deckers?
