I guess I'll try to do this in chronological order for lack of a better way. Just to let you know, I started off near the tower of London and sort of headed West (I think) towards the Tate Modern (the new modern art gallery in London) and then went looking for some place to eat. That's really about how much planning went into the day so without further ado, let's have the pictures!
The first picture I took was is a picture of the more modern section of London, but you can just see the Tower in the background 
.
I think this is the only picture of the London Tower Hill that turned out at all decent. I have to say that I think this is the Tower of London, but I'm not entirely sure because I didn't stick around long enough to find out. Judging by all the tourists, it is probably some famous landmark.
The next thing that I came across was an interesting little church with a nice peaceful garden. It had a neat little archway at the entrance and a nice looking fountain . This is what it looks like from the front and from the air . I'll let you work out how I got that one.
Not far from the church was this interesting looking building . It turns out, this is just a hotel, but it looks pretty interesting from the front. They actually have a lovely brass sign out front stating that the place is not for tourists, just hotel guests.
It was about this time that I stumbled across the London Monument and decided to take a closer look. From this, , you can work out for yourself, when the monument was built. It was constructed as a monument to the Great Fire that destroyed much of London. The monument is two hundred twenty some feet tall (I forget the exact number) and is exactly that distance from where the fire is believed to have started. When I approached, I found out that you can actually climb the stairs to the top to get a very good view of London, so what else could I do but pay my 2 quid and start climbing. This is a picture out of one of the (narrow) windows and this is a picture of the stairs . Not quite as nice as the CN Tower but not as high either. I do have to admit I was a little dizzy by the time I got to the top, and no I didn't count the stairs. The view of the city was really very good despite the smog and I managed to get a decent picture of the London Eye .
I've also got this picture out towards the Thames from the monument and these pictures of the famous London Bridige . for fun.
The next thing I saw was this little tiny car. If you've ever tried to park in London, you know why someone would buy this car.
Somewhere around here I took these pictures and of the traffic. Just in case you were thinking about driving around in London.
I did eventually make it to the Tate Modern. Unfortuntely, it was opening day. I took a couple pictures and before I decided that I didn't like modern art enough to fight through the crowds and the heat. It was a pretty muggy Satruday and the museum is a converted warehouse with no A/C (not that they would need it ver often here) so it was a little stifling. If you look down at the bottom of the second picture you can sort of see a line going back from that large metal thing. Well, part of the idea of the piece of "art" was for someone to walk up to the top and look around and then come back down. That line of people is the line waiting to get inside. I may go back to the museum some rainy day in August when hopefully, there won't be quite so many people and see what the inside of the thing actually looks like.
I had to cross back across the Thames to get to the shops but before I did I took this picture . And this one . The bridge that I used to cross was called BlackFriar's Bridge and at the top of it there is a building with a black friar . Just across the bridge, I took this picture for fun .
The last couple pictures I have are of some people dancing in Trafalgar Square and a couple pictures from the National Gallery (old art as opposed to modern art). I took this one before I found out that you're not supposed to take pictures of the pictures. Don't worry I didn't use a flash, so no damage was done to the picture. These are all really old, 15th and 16th century altar pieces mostly. Before I left I took a quick snapshot of a model of Trafalgar Square . I think that was allowed.
