London & the South Bank of The Thames
10th August 2007

A day in London... WOW.

I've visited London many times over the years but this time as a proper tourist. With perfect sunny weather and so much to see along the river it was a wonderful experience.

Photos of my visit to The Hayward Gallery on the South Bank and the Antony Gormley exhibition are in their own collection.

The brutal 1960's architecture of the South bank attracts lots of graffitti vandals. They are NOT artists.
