The old docks in the East End... Sometimes the redevelopment works, sometimes it doesn't quite. It's noticeable how much money has been invested here, and it's certainly a stylish and undoubtedly very expensive place to live. But it was so empty. So soulless. Apart from a few pigeons, there was no sign of life. When a delivery van did turn the corner or a person hurried by, the sound echoed loudly and felt even more lonely. The square is beautifully laid out, but for me, it's absolutely NOT inviting. I sat down anyway and took a break to see if anything would happen. Maybe in the summer? I was there in February. 🤔

"The Greenway" in London refers primarily to the Northern Outfall Sewer, a Victorian sewer now used as the Greenway cycle and footpath. It is a historic structure, built by Joseph Bazalgette following the Great Stink of 1858, and functions as part of a larger sewage infrastructure.

The Tower of London is a historic fortress located on the north bank of the River Thames in London, next to Tower Bridge. The tower is located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, east of the City of London, in an area known as Tower Hill. Construction began around the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gave its name to the entire castle, was built on the orders of William the Conqueror in 1078 and was seen as a symbol of the oppression inflicted on London by the ruling class. The castle was used as a prison as early as 1100. It also served as a grand palace and royal residence. The entire tower is a complex of several buildings surrounded by two concentric defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly during the reigns of Richard I, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general plan established at the end of the 13th century did not evolve despite subsequent activities within these walls

I find the two large sphinx statues more impressive than the obelisk. The obelisk was presented to the English royal family in 1820 as a gift from Muhammad Ali Pasha, then ruler of Egypt, for the coronation of George IV, as a token of gratitude for England's military support.
