Wandering around London, Saturday April 24th 2004

A wander from Clapham Junction to Vauxhall - Westminster - Whitehall - Trafalgar Square - Covent Garden - Holborn - Blackfriars Bridge - St. Paul's Cathedral - Millenium Bridge, then hyperspace to Canary Wharf - King's Cross - St Pancras - Victoria, complete with photos inside the very tube carriages themselves. Oh yes.

btw, any pointers to pages with well laid out pahes with multiple images gratefully received. I'm not really happy with many of the pages on which these images are displayed, but have yet to get my head around page formatting on the wikipedia. --Talk:Tagishsimon
