Details of the Battle of Britain Memorial, Victoria Embankment
London must have a few odd buildings. In NYC many native have an affection for the odd triangular Flat Iron Building. I like the Chrysler Building better than the Empire State.
Thanks everyone for visiting. I will drop by your own posts.
Beak, there are some very interesting bui9ldings indeed, I do like the Gherkin - pretty neat for a modern building. The Telecom Tower, St Pauls Parliament, and so on. I will have to visit teh FLat Iron building one day for sure.

The W on the soldier's helmet ties in nicely to the WW/Wordless Wednesday theme.
