Broken Social Scene and London at Night

London at night is incredible to view because all of the famous buildings and locations that you are already in awe of from having seen so often in pictures and in films are completely lit up and glow from miles away. Starting at the Westminster Cathedral, we walked around central London until our hands were freezing and our faces were flushed from the icy winds coming off of the Thames River. Its' dropping to the low 50's and 40's here so when looking at these pictures you may want to turn up your air con to get the full experience...!

This was the first place we visited so it was still light out. Westminster Church is the leading church in Britain and the Pope was here a few months ago!





Valet boxes in England are a little more traditional looking than just a plain box! I had to take a picture because I thought it was so cute...

Westminster Abbey

Big Ben at night is really a London landmark. You can see it from miles away and the way it is framed by the London Eye and the Parliament Houses makes the setting even more perfect!

If you walk out along the Thames River at night you can go aboard different dinner cruise ships that have full bars and restaurants floating on the water. The nights can get chilly with the breeze coming off of the water but it is worth a go every once in awhile for the view.


The next night we headed out to Covent Gardens for Broken Social Scene. We stopped at a little Japanese restaurant for dinner and I took pictures of all the origami for my cousin Logan to see because he is the origami master of the family. The rock fountain at the front was covered along with the walls and the sides of the stairs. All the little bright colors you see are different origami pieces!


The music venue for Broken Social. The venue was called Koko and was one of the largest I have ever been to. The giant disco ball made the red walls sparkle and even the guys in the band were impressed by the four storeys and size of the building.
