From Budapest arrived in London. London, one of my favorite cities. Been here probably 100 times. There is nothing better than to get out of the subway somewhere in the middle and just spend hours walking around the city. London climate, in winter there is no snow, not hot in the summer. Beauty. The next 3 days we will walk around the British capital. Will show you and the homeless, and black neighborhoods, and Olympic venues after 2 years after the Olympics)

01. morning rain in London. London rain, it is not Moscow. It's the rain that comes out of the ground, pouring from the sky, slashes in your face. People go all soggy, umbrella does not save.

02. Went to inspect the local street art. Each month there are new works. Here are the herons in the fall the Belgian artist Peter ROA was not exactly.

03. and the elephant.

04. Please note that this is all drawn on the wall, it is not a sticker.

05. street art in London.

06. Paint already on the Windows of stores.

07. posters

08. the London air ticket offices.

10. Gone in the city on business of national importance.

11. London winter.

12.

13.

14.

15. the skyscrapers as graffiti, new, not uslediš′.

16. Taurskij bridge.

17. as in Moscow, in London, demolishing old buildings, leaving only the facade and the stuffing are making a new one. We like to say that "that's in London retain every nail and we barbarians all vandalizing." it all depends on the situation. Of course, there is the building where the interiors and the Interior is no less valuable than the façade. But in some cases, you can safely remove the stuffing.

18. a new plitočku put guest workers from Eastern Europe.

19. a street in the Centre. Note how much space housed a bus lane, as under sidewalks, and how much the band for personal auto.

20. in principle, personal cars in Central London to meet difficult, only taxis and Buses.

21. we would in this case have done to 3 lanes in each direction and narrow sidewalks.

22. I'll write a separate post on how much is by private car to come into Central London. We arrange the tantrums that have to pay for parking, bus lane that did that. We have in London over the problems and Charly Moscow motorists just laugh.

23. the entrance to KFC. Just like we do at McDonald's in the 90 's.

24. this little machine police record violations in camera.

25. parking in the Centre is $ 170 per hour, and it's not the Center. The Park can only be 4:0 as much as possible.

26. in cases of public importance came in a new BBC

27. it employs 6000 people

28. now all international editions, all journalists are sitting in one building.

29. everything is in one place. The building cost 1 billion pounds.

30. the BBC is funded on folk remedies. Every household should buy from BBC license. If you don't have a TV or you're not watching it, the BBC will you get threats, letters and grozit′sa come with checking to make sure that there is no TV at home. Annual license worth 145 pounds. Expensive? Buy a black and white licence for 49 pounds. All pay. With TV license at all funny. Company selling TV sets by law must report to the BBC about what you bought from them. Even Amazon. Then send a letter to you-we type MN loan that you bought the media, you don't want to pay for a license?

31. Since all this beauty was built on people's money, people can always go to the BBC and see where the money went.

32. in the British Parliament and the Supreme Court of the people too can go.

33. journalists working at the Aquarium.

34.

35.

36. the floor of the BBC Russian service

37. the Studio

38. the Office regularly visited limousines with important guests. In the morning there was Prince Charles. While no new guests, actors train passage from a limousine in the Studio to guard and photographers could work out work with famous guests.

39. Today was to begin a new wave of strikes in the subway. It decided to replace live tellers at the stations of robots. Metro workers ' Union raised a howl that nobody should be dismissed, and last week went on strike. The subway was closed at the height of the working day. All London people stood up, walked for hours to work. Today was scheduled to begin new strike, but the unions have agreed to the Metro. At the entrance to the station hangs an ad that strikes will not.

40. happy passengers can now go home under the ground.

41. Londoners rejoice)

42. Sunset.

43.

44.

45. the police

46. views of the City

47. box with plankton

50. Tomorrow we will continue exploring London

Last day in London Travel notes, day 5

Continue to walk around London. 5 years ago I was going to move here. Remember, flew in with his wife in London, went to the law firm, had paid ￡ 70 for a consultation. Lawyer HR told us how to live in England. Listen to it, thought it over and decided not to leave. Home is best. There is nothing better than Russia and Moscow. While Moscow I see less, love her every day stronger. Awful Miss Stoppers, avtohamstvu, gastarbeiter, old trams, improper parking, migalkam, tile shops and restaurants that are open 24 hours a day, good coffee, buckwheat and borodinskomu bread, steaks, and a cat. Nowhere in the world has so much good, both in Moscow.

01. this area of the Royal Arsenal. Previously, there were military depots, and now made luxury housing. Love such areas. Look how cool.

02. Yards

03.

04. Sorry, the territory is fenced, unauthorized entry is prohibited.

05.

06. look at the landscaping. All neat and well done.

07.

08.

09. Back in the city of London. My favorite cucumber.

10.

Konstantin Pinaev shows on Ajpade door of the Prime Minister's residence at 10 Downing Street. In the heart of London, close to the OksfordStrit, there is a very similar door. It is often shot in film, spoofing nobody notices.

11.

12.

13. Take a bike. Rent is 2 pounds per day. This is a monthly fee. Then you pay more for a while. The first 30 minutes are free of charge. That is, if you take a bike for short trips, it can be a full day for 2 pounds skate. Special application on the iPhone shows the available stations.

14. The Centre is covered by a network of rental stations, so there should be no problems.

15. choice of language. The funny thing is that among the various languages do not have Russian:-(. Insert a credit card and get the code from a bicycle. No registration and no collateral. Highly recommend to all who will be in London use public rental.

16. recently, there has been an accident in London with cyclists. One month down to 6 people. Rose scandal. The Mayor of London said that the cyclists themselves fools, don't go. Then the bank Barclays, sponsors city bicycle, said the smatyvaet rods. If City Hall is unable to ensure the safety of cyclists, let alone and veloprokatom. While the Bank does not need bicycles bloody. Such bases, the Mayor did not expect. The rhetoric has changed, and now the extreme steel not cyclists, and truck drivers. They often break the rules and force down cyclists. All of the trucks were ordered to install cameras (for a better view), increased fines. Now order.

17. There are warning signs on the buses.

18. Very popular London model of folding bike.

19. Ride it by the rules. In London a lot of bike lanes. Not as much as in Amsterdam or Copenhagen, but enough. Rules, like we have on the road. The helmet is not required. The fine for driving through a red light-30 pounds. You cannot ride on the sidewalks.

20.

21. the bicycle bum.

22. bike shed

23. Devices near the station.

24. Devices in the Center.

25. as I wrote, in the Centre of London there is little personal motor transport. Or company cars or taxis.

26. and, of course, the famous London buses.

27. a very beautiful new bus. I wrote a post about it. The project was named "New bus 4 London", or "new bus for London". New bus revealed in 2010 year.

28.

29. Aeroflot is advertised on the London taxi.

30. easy.

31.

32. a surprisingly easy navigation in the London underground.

33. a plate upon exiting the Metro station in the city of London.

34. a ferry across the River Thames.

35. London Sphinx.

36. current weather awful. Rain, strong wind, then suddenly shows the Sun and rain.

37.

38. Chinatown.

39.

40. a London picture: urn, which is fed to some broken umbrellas. The fact of the matter is that the rain there is strong wind, which breaks the umbrella.

41. navigation.

42.

Konstantin Pinaev displeased with her neighbor on the train.

43.

44. Street coffee house.

45. fashion. Soon our Gopnik will walk in these hats while they're cleaning. You'll see.

46.

Konstantin Pinaev said that it is the best coffee house in London. Checked, the coffee is really good. About as we have in the DablBi. I could say it to you, but there are always biltkom and places not. Find;)-well done

47. in the evening went the steak in the restaurant Tramshed. It is located in a former tram depot. Recommend. Pound Porterhouse is 70 pounds. Trams in London have cut in the middle of the last century, when prices for electricity. Now in the South of the city opened the speed tram line Trèmlink. And did not have time to get there.
