On Sunday June 8th we ventured up to London, on what turned out to be a very hot day. We started off at Kensington High Street, and after refreshment at our favourite cafe in the area (Cafe Tarte which I can highly recommend) we headed off in the direction of the Royal Albert Hall and surrounding area.

Part of one of the Imperial College Buildings.

The entrance to Imperial College on Exhibition Road.

A reflective look along the front entrance.

Two very different styles of building next door to each other, one of which you might recognize from the previous photo.

A very impressive light found on the Royal College Of Music frontage, and because of the warmth of the day the windows were open, and the tuneful melodies could be heard by us out on the street.

The Royal Albert Hall really is a magnificent building, and well worth some time studying in detail.

An Albert reflected in another Albert.

The restoration may be a bit bright for some, but a bit of bling never hurt anyone!

Differing architectural styles in all directions.

The front of The Royal Garden Hotel looked impressive in a modern style too.

Boris bikes, in their soon to be changed livery.

It wouldn't be a day out with my camera if I didn't take a picture of an interesting car, so I was delighted to find this classic Volvo P1800 at the side of the Kensington Road, complete with a For Sale sign in the back window. Yours for £23500 if you are interested!

Once again another very enjoyable day out in our capital, as we found new places to wander round, and made us more determined to go back again soon to see some more sights.
