Big Ben

A History of Me Previous Next

From there we went by boat from Greenwich to Westminster. We were talking to the Captain who showed us the way to navigate against the tide (you forget about "driving" on the right and cut the corners if the current is running against you). He also showed us the entrances to the different harbours.

From Westminster we went round the Imperial War Museum in double quick time. Then we went to London Bridge Station where they were building the 'Shell Mex' skyscraper. (I don't think I'd ever seen such extensive building works before - again it took more than one photo to get an idea of the size of the project.)
