Most of my readers probably already know that my favorite city in the world is London. I've been there many times and if fate allows, I will visit again. I thought for today's post I'd show you my favorite London Photos over the years. This one above is from my 2016 trip. It's of a famous staircase called the Cecil Brewer staircase and it's located inside a store called Heal's. I saw a photo of this on Flickr one day several years ago and put it on my list of must-see places.
This second photo was taken in 2013 when my friend Mo who lives in London took me to a very special church. It is called The Priory Church of St. Barholomew-the-Great and it was founded in 1123.
The artist sketching inside the church was an added bonus. I had this photo printed on canvas and it resides in my living room.
This next photo was taken in 1985 on my very first trip to London. I was walking along a street when I spotted real live blacksmith shop right in the middle of town.
This Tower Bridge Photo was taken in 2005 when I stayed in a flat in an area south of the Thames called Shad Thames. I remember snapping this photo while I waited for my friends to get coffee at a nearby Starbucks.
A print of this one hangs in my kitchen.
As you might guess, I have many photos that I've taken in London. Maybe next week I'll show you a few more favorites.

Thank you, such an interesting city, I will return, in time, when it is safer to travel again.
Excellent photos! (Of course I had to come and check them out!) I bet that blacksmith shop is long-gone, but how cool that you saw it when you did. I've never even heard about that staircase, though I know the Heal's shop, on Tottenham Court Road. I've never been inside. Guess I need to go!
My life has included only one visit to London but that was wonderful. It is a great city.
Spiral stairs always appeal to me.
