The Tower Bridge Fox

I took this, this evening during the opening of the stadium to celebrate 2012 hours,
While an attractive evening view with the lights on,
My comments are if the lighting was on the Orbit I couldn’t see it when it got completely dark ,
And the search lights while visible didn’t really stand out , obviously this isn’t the opening of the Olympics , but I think they have a bit of work to do to before the opening ceremony.

London Skyline Panerama from the Queen Elisablth Hall roof Garden
Big ben left St Pauls right



Walking from London Bridge to the south bank centre to day
I noticed they are reassembling the Original Borough market roof after it was dismantled for Thames link
So this looks like it will be done for the Jubilimpics.
The Thames path including the area around the Globe theatre is still being recobbled and as said in another thread the work on Black friars bridge is continuing though the scaffolding will be coming down there is no sign of this yet, there is work on sea container house narrowing the Thames path, the over all impresion is of a lot of work in progress
The south Bank centre has re- opened its highly imaginative roof garden above the queen Elizabeth Hall
The whole upper level is turfed over with a scarecrow and vegetable and flower gardens,
I can most highly recommend a visit for anyone coming to the Olympics in London
The South bank centre is Keeping the spirit of the festival of Britain alive
Free concerts in the Royal festival Hall free events and exhibitions galore
And fantastic panoramas of London from the roof garden.

The official London 2012 Jewellery collection.
I was wandering around Convent garden today and noticed the links of London official London 2012 jewellery collection shop, which I hadn’t seen before,
For any one looking for a more upper class souvenir, Most of the items are sold or silver plated,
It is an interesting collection with a more tasteful use of the logo then most of the pin badges, the logo is used in the same way as the London at night pin set embossed in monotone silver or gold,
Its pricey but you never know if one wins the lottery

There was a bit of an Olympic theme at the Noting Hill carnival this year
I took these pictures today,







I enterd the carnival area via the quit rout,
Yep the Canal goes to Noting Hill as well, .

The London At night Pin set,
I finally got this today from the museum of London its so exciting I now own my own piece of London 2012 history , its been repackaged since it was fist released I’m not sure what the difference is , but it comes in a very solid box with the pins set on a framed panel , I think if I do wear any of them it would have to be a very important occasion, though I would love to walk down the street wearing all of them ,
But at £130 more expensive then when it first came out it would be a risky thing to do.
May be during the games.
