London January 2025 #1

London, Mobility, Travel, UK

I’m here, and settled in my comfortable hotel room.

I arrived yesterday late morning. Me being me, I dozed most of the day and then didn’t get up until 11 this morning.

I’m still not feeling much like doing-a-thing, so mostly all I’ve done is have a hamburger at a favorite place around the corner. Posts this week are going to be mostly pictures. Very likely of overly-specific things that I’ll briefly explain.

O

Seven hours on a plane.

O

Buckingham Palace from a cab …
seen it, done it, don’t need to do it again.

O

The neighborhood, from the hotel window.

O

Looking across The Thames down by the hotel entrance, about noon today. (That’s St. Paul’s Cathedral.)

O

More neighborhood … I’m a few feet around the corner from the building with all the red trim. I’m sitting on the wall with my back to the river taking the photo.

O

Inside Wagamama … everything here is built inside old Victorian train arches and warehouses. This was very much an industrial/railroad neighborhood.

O

More tomorrow! Have a great day!

    O dearDear Phill!!
    so happy you arrived safely! i would also have a loooong nap after 7hrs on a plane. the burger at a favorite haunt also sounds like me! i love the pics! what is really neat is that i actually begin to recognize the places! it is so weird to think that at one time people used to ice skate on the Thames in the winter! and lastly, i love that somebody at sometime looked at that space where the Wagamama is and said, you know, we could have a posh looking eatery here! have a lovely stay, be safe out there, and don’t overtax yourself!
    I LOVE YOU! ❤ 😀
