LONDON PHOTOS: NOV'15

So recently I have been feeling really uninspired and not productive for like a month or so. I've thought about my blog content and decided to focus on travel, it's a hobby I love and it's why I started this blog - to share my photography travel pics!
I briefly said via Google+ that I will be doing posts on different places around the world I want to visit and I can't wait to write them! This idea came to me while adding to my long list I already have (...and yes it is a lot!) Some places I have been but there are so many I haven't been too which excite me. Let me know where you have always wanted to visit!
Moving on to this blog post. As I said I was feeling uninspired and needed a break from photography but to get back into it I went into Central London and took some pictures. I live in London so it's great for an occasion like this, I hadn't been into Central for ages and missed it! I just went and took images hoping to spark some inspiration and get back to love it again:

 
 
Along Southbank....

 
 
 
I love this composition, how the UK and English flag are high on top right between where it says 'proudly'.

 
 
 
 
Black and White best represented this cloudy shot.

 
A plane at the right moment

 
 
 
Wanna see more Street Art instead of graffiti, East London is a great area, have a look at EXPLORING LONDON for more.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Introduce to photos from Covent Garden, it's amazing wit the Christmas lights up this time of year!
 
 
 
The mirror ceiling is everything in this picture.

 
 
 
Got that festive touch
 
 
 
 
What do you think of the (random-ish) images I took? I'm slowly getting back into photography again...

EXPLORING LONDON: PRIMROSE HILL

This is possibly my favourite place in London I found when exploring. I can't believe I had never been here or really known of it before but now I love coming here and try any excuse to.
 
Primrose Hill is next to Regent's Park and London Zoo in North London, you can also walk to and from the markets of Camden Town (which I did read more here ).

Enter the gates to the Hill and the path leads off in many directions all directing you to the top of the Hill or the entering/exiting gates. 

 
I can imagine the Hill in autumn with the auburn leaves falling to the ground.
In winter (hoping that it snows!) the snow on the branches would look beautiful and while walking down the path seeing snow either side covering the grass and the flickering lights in the days that night falls early, the frozen spider webs hanging from the side.

In Spring / Summer, the occasionally hot days we get in London, is beautiful to sit out on the grass and just relax!
 
When you finally get to the top, don't worry the Hill isn't that bad to walk up and if you think you can't just remember the view is totally worth it! Plus there are benches at the top where you can sit and rest while enjoying the view of the London Skyline.


 
THE VIEW!!

 

You can see The Shard, London Eye, BT Tower...


.... Canary Wharf (the business district)





 You can see the whole of the London Skyline right in front you and on a clear sunny day it is amazing!

If anyone visits London this is a must see when exploring and recommend it to anyone visiting.


 
Have you been here or would want to?
 
Where could my next Exploring London blog post be next...? Check out the others if you haven't already and let me know what you think!

A QUICK DAY OUT IN LONDON

I love going into Central London, theres no secret about it, I thought I would share what I did when my family came to London for a quick trip! The first place we went to was Harrods in Knightbridge - I love the area and been passed it many times but can you believe I've never actually been into Harrods?!

 
 
 
 
After spending ages in Harrods (The Disney Store in particular) looking amazed at everything we headed to Covent Garden. It was a lovely sunny day so after walking around browsing the shops we went to Southbank and grabbed something to eat.

 
 
 
 

 
 

Even though I've been to these areas so many times I never get bored of seeing them again and I always take a picture or two.

Walking around London can get really tiring but then you have enough places to eat to refuel yourself up, maybe even over indulge, (but it's only one day its fine right?!) have a look at this interesting infographic 'to work it off' (Wimbledon style). Let me know what you think! https://www.central-london-apartments.com/blog/how-to-work-off-your-wimbledon-favourites-infographic/
