Today I went on an outing to the Design Museum. It is located on the south bank of the Thames not far from the Tower Bridge. Above is the view from outside the museum looking across the Thames. You can see the "Gerkin" (the pointy topped building). To its left is the "Cheese Grater" and behind the bridge is the 'Walkie-Talkie". Londoners like to give their tall buildings nicknames. There is also the "Shard", the "Beehive" (also called the "Motorcycle Helmet"). Kinda makes the Tower Bridge seem passé as a name.
Although a little cool, this afternoon was the first really nice weather we've had: blue sky that went to the horizon and lasted more than a few minutes.
Meanwhile: the Thames upstream is out of it banks.
