London, Eye 7

















The view to the northwest. That's the Hungerford and Golden Jubilee bridges in the foreground. It looks like one structure but the train bridge came first, opened in 1864 and called the Hungerford Bridge. Two pedestrian bridges were added in 2002, recognizable by the white latices, and they were called the Golden Jubilee Bridges. The bridges run into Charing Cross railway station, the central London railway terminus.That strange, tall tower with the purple lights at the top is the BT Tower. It's a major communications tower for all of London and has a 360 degree LCD display at the top.
