Trafalgar Square-July 20

Took a walk early this morn across the Golden Jubilee Bridge (Hungersford Bridge) to the north bank heading for Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly to buy some stuff for my Hadrian Wall hike later this month. Shop was still closed at 9 am so I did some sight seeing. This is Admiral Nelson at Trafalgar Square.

Great looking lions at the base of Nelson's column. Brits like lions posed like this because it conveys the message of the British Empire taming the rest of the world.
This is the National Portrait Gallery just behind Nelson's column at Trafalgars Square.
This is the bard at a pretty little park at Leicester Square. His scroll says "There is no darkness but ignorance."
My big feet stepping on Wordsworth on the south bank's river walk near the Eye of London. "Glide gently..." (click to enlarge picture to finish reading this lovely poetic tribute to the Thames.)
