London: (6) Thames Riverscape

Old and new: St Paul's Cathedral, Blackfriars Bridge, modern skyscrapers.

Brigitte from Berlin.

St Paul's and the Millennium Bridge.

View west from the Millennium Bridge. Tate Modern (formerly Bankside Power Station) is on the left of the picture.

View east from the Millennium Bridge. The tapering, rather elegant skyscraper is the Shard, the tallest building in London, the UK and the whole of the EU. It's also the second highest building in Europe, after Moscow's Mercury City Tower. On the right of the picture you can see part of the reconstructed Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
