New buildings with interesting architectural designs have sprouted in the redeveloped area of the London Docklands. I went crazy firing away with the camera as I tried to balance from the top deck of the cruise boat sailing down the River Thames from Greenwich to Parliament House on a sunny but windy morning.

More often than not, this iconic symbol of London is mistakenly called "London Bridge". The old London Bridge built in 1831 (which was falling down) was sold in 1962 to an American consortium that dismanted it brick by brick and shipped 10,000 miles away to Arizona where it presently stands. A new one was built to replace it and is the next bridge upriver from Tower Bridge. This bridge gets its name by being right next to the Tower of London which used to be at one time or another a fortress, a palace, and then a prison. There is an interesting exhibition hall at the top of the bridge's two towers that you can visit.
