Senate House

 

Senate House is an art deco style building located on the campus of the University of London.  It was constructed between 1932 and 1937.  The building has been used as backdrop in many films and television  shows most notably "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and "No Time to Die".  I saw it used in an episode of the PBS series "Hercule Poirot."

Waterfall

 

A favorite spot of mine.  It's a fountain/sculpture called "Waterfall" that was created by the artist Antony Donaldson. After discovering this fountain in 2005 I've  visited this spot on every visit to London since.  One thing I find interesting is that when researching the works of Antony Donaldson, there is never a mention of this fountain.  It's located on the South Bank of the Thames in a place called Courage Yard near Shad Thames and Tower Bridge.
