Continued from From UCL to the LSE.
After spending time at LSE we walked north-west towards Trafalgar Square.
This place needs no introduction. It is a major icon of London.
Next is another world-famous icon, the Piccadily Circus.
The flashing billboards across the fountain could be one of the most photographed objects on earth.
From Piccadily Circus we returned to Baker Street and rest. Here I would like to share a few other places which would become our regular haunt over the next few months or so starting with Camden Town.
It has a picturesque canal around.
Then there's its market well-known for variety of wares including antiques...
Back at central London, the charms of Covent Garden often calls.
Street performances are aplenty here.
Then of course there's art in its wares.
The big garden called Hyde Park remains a favourite spot right until my last days in London 4 years later.
Situated west of central London it is I think the city's biggest lung, at least within what is designated as London Zone 1.
Just above a kilometre to the north lies the equally green Regent's Park.
It is in fact situated much closer to Baker Street where I've bunked at for about 3 month I think.
About 3 km to the south of the park and slightly east lies the parliament besides the river Thames.
The iconic giant clock called Big Ben looms large watching over the horizon.
About 3.3 km on a straight line eastwards from Big Ben lies the Tower Bridge. After Baker Street, I've stayed at somewhere in Bermondsey, about 1.7 km from the bridge.
