London from a Double-decker

On our second day back in London, we decided to jump on another hop-on hop-off bus tour like we did a few weeks ago. We rode all the way over to the Tower of London. Once again we saw Olympic paraphernalia everywhere.

Olympic game lanes all throughout the city




Banners on every post you could see almost




All 200+ participating country's flags. Our bus turned before I could get a picture of our flag, but they didn't leave us out!




First clock in London with a minute hand




Bomb damage from WWII




Benedict Arnold's home - he lived here until his death




Back under the Tower Bridge we go




City Hall and the Shard. City hall is made of glass - to represent transparency of the politicians. Ha I think it's also so it will be environmentally friendly.




But they did have a cool animation going - Olympic themed of course. Hard to see in this picture, but they had animated Olympians going through their events.




And we finally made it to the Tower of London - which I'll save for its own post!
