View of the Thames and Westminster and the London Eye from the Stone Gallery level of St Paul's Cathedral

Looking through the matching front towers of St Paul's Cathedral

Zoom of the London Eye from St Paul's Cathedral, where you can see the towers of Westminster Abbey peeking through the center of the Eye

A few hundred steps higher yet is the Golden Gallery, with stellar views of London, including the Gherkin tower at the left and Tower Bridge at the right.

Ben's shot of the view towards Westminster from the Golden Gallery of St Paul's Cathedral. Such a clear day with such beautiful fluffy clouds - I think the clouds look so perfect they look fake! ;)

As we headed for London Bridge and the HMS Belfast, we passed the London Dungeon, where I had to take photos. The flames were real!

The London Dungeon was too expensive to bother with considering our limited time, but I had to take photos for possible Halloween inspiration. :)

Ben's best shot of the HMS Belfast (I forgot to take one of the full view of the ship - doh)

London City Hall - a weird modern bubble building!
