London, UK: remarkable British architecture in the city!

in #hive-17870820 days ago

Hello archi lovers!

We are back in the fascinating city of London, full of stimuli and interesting things to see. And among all that we see, we can really notice its architecture, which reveals the very personality of the English city: eclectic, historical and condensed.

Because London is full of interesting and different buildings everywhere. Let's see some...

Downtown monuments

Of course, in the centre, where we have visited some of the most well-known and popular places. And from outside the National Gallery, in the famous Trafalgar Square, right next to Nelson's column and a large fountain, we can enjoy a nice view, we see a typical street, full of people, iconic buses, and elegant, very British facades.

And in the background, the castle tower that we already visited, and from another perspective, again, Big Ben, that great clock that informs us that we are spending time enjoying London.

And suddenly, among so much classicism or old neoclassicism, we are surprised by some aggressive glass and metal architecture that stands out. And as we walk along more streets, we also come across other magnificent buildings, some with wonderful decorative elements on their facades, others important, with flags, and others commercial with many signs, in addition, the typical underground signs.

The Tube (The Underground)

Of course, if you are in London you have to take the underground at some point, which is popularly known as "the tube". A network that is many decades old, one of the oldest in the world, and the busiest too. So you have to be careful to stand to one side on the stairs and not disturb all the people passing by in the rush of the day.

Piccadilly Circus

And we emerge from the mouth of the subway into a mythical place, the square of Piccadilly Circus, a well-known meeting place for all groups of people, always vibrant not only because of the constant traffic but also because of the large advertising posters. Classical facades combine with modern illuminated letters. A summary of the vibrant life of London.

St. Paul's Cathedral

And one place that I particularly like a lot is the cathedral, yes, because in London there is one of the largest domes, after the Vatican, the Pantheon in Rome and some others that I don't remember...

But its majesty is impressive and how it stands out from the rest of the many buildings and the contrast with the more modern glass facades and facing a modern bridge, I think it is the Millenium Bridge, from which we enjoy an incredible perspective.

Shakespeare's Globe

And if we cross that bridge to the south, we find a curious building, in an old, almost medieval style. It is a theatre, Shakespeare's theatre, which has been replied maintaining its essence, of what a theatre where his works would be recited in times past would be like. And whose design clearly stands out from the rest of the surrounding buildings, showing definitively a unique personality.

Royal Albert Hall

We change the setting and location, without leaving the show. Because we are going to a famous place, home to multiple musical performances and concerts by the most remarkable artists in the world. It is the Royal Albert Hall, which also draws attention for its exterior decoration. A circular building made of bricks of an intense reddish color, which contrasts with the rest of the ornamental elements in a light cream tone. It is impressive, and inside we can be spectators of the most important concerts.

Bridges Views

An immense city that we are going through, we are getting tired, but we leave some views for the end, especially on some of its famous bridges. We see the Ferris wheel again, and we also see other bridges, where the innovative metal ones are mixed with the robust ones made of ancient stone. And in the background, part of the heterogeneous skyline of the city, the dome of the cathedral again, with other modern buildings that compete in height, design and attention, while a multitude of boats continue to travel along that famous River Thames in the London capital.

And now all that's left for us to do is relax a bit, in other interesting and pleasant places in the city that we will visit soon in the last post about London!

The city looks full of history, and The Royal Albert Hall building has an unique architecture and color. I curious about the inside of the building. It must be lux.

Yes a lot of history, architecture and entertainment. The Royal Albert Hall is wonderful I did not enter as I hadn't a ticket for a concert but certainly it must be very nice...

@pizzabot Thank you very much

Your writing makes me feel like I'm there. When I'm on The Tube sometimes I feel what if I'm in a rush and the crowds are so crowded? Unreasonable feelings. Haha. But, the Royal Hall and Shakespeare's globe caught my attention

Again you share my motherland from many generations ago Amiga, jaja. It does not disappoint, all this architecture from different time periods. It's a city that provides and feels like an open air museum. So much history you have seen visiting and just walking the streets. Awesome photos as always. Good day ahead for you Amiga.

Jajaja, yeah your motherland, it's cool! Still one more soon and it's over and I will pass to my own motherland maybe jajaja or other.... There are many things to see, and I am missing some more because you need a one month visit to really see everything, but at least I culd see some of the most important places (and I was there three times!). Happy you like it!

Happy day dear amigo!!

Hi @duvinca, a beautiful and complete tour of central London, the buildings have varied designs ranging from classic to modern such as glass and metal, which stands out among so much concrete; the millennium bridge is my favorite.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot @belkyscabrera I'm happy you like the city, and indeed the contrast is evident, classical and modern at the same place, and the bridge is certainly remarkable.
Have a grea weekend!

Oh London! How could one ignore this world-class metropolis, right? Being one of the planet's most historic cities, it's absolutely an architectural paradise of old and new buildings to be experienced. Their design heritage is simply captivating. Isn't it @duvinca? ☺️

London is "the city" clearly, a very important city that is always worthy to visit because the experiences are always unique and amazing, surrounded by impressive architecture that reflects different times and the evolution of that wonderful place.
Happy weekend dear @storiesoferne!

Have a fantastic weekend as well @duvinca! ☺️

London is undoubtedly an incredible hotbed of constructed wonders @duvinca! From classical masterpieces to modern skyscrapers, one can fully immerse in its fascinating world of architecture. Impressive! ☺️

Indeed, London is full of wonders to see one and more times! You need to pay attention every single moment wherever you go! And the general and diverse atmosphere is fantastic! 😊
