The view to the South-West. With the Palace of Westminster, St. Margaret's Church and Westminster Abbey. And if I'm not mistaken Heathrow visible as the row of bright lights on the horizon on the right edge of the picture.

The view eastwards. With the Shard, Canary Wharf in the distance and Waterloo Station in the foreground.

Still looking northwards but further to the left than on the picture before. Charing Cross Station and the Embankment featuring prominently in the foreground. The ship all to the left houses the Tattershall Castle pub, by the way. It's where I drunk my very first Newcastle Brown Ale which is still one of my favourite pub drinks.

Now the reason as to why we spent time around County Hall and Jubilee Gardens: We were waiting for our turn on the London Eye. This is the view northwards, close to the top of the wheel. The waning evening light and slowly lighting up night city make for a fascinating atmosphere.

County Hall and the London Eye as seen across the Thames from Westminster Bridge. You can also see the cranes again behind the hall.
I like how the evening sun really brings out the best from County Hall.

Taken from a place only a few steps from the picture before, this is the view across the Thames with Westminster Bridge, the Palace of Westminster containing the Houses of Parliament, the Elizabeth Tower and Westminster Abbey to the right and behind it.

And yes, it's called the Elizabeth Tower. Formerly the Clock Tower. Not Big Ben. Big Ben is the largest of the bells it houses. The one ringing the number of hours. Though many people don't care and just call the whole structure by that name.

This interesting looking collection of cranes we found on the banks of river Thames. They're situated right between Jubilee Gardens and Waterloo Station. Next to the London Eye and County Hall. Or were there, they might be gone by now. Probably not though, that project seemed rather significant.

This fountain is right next to that path I mentioned in the previous picture. It's a bit hidden on the side and I've noticed many people completely missing it because they were so focused on the gate itself on the other side of the path.

Further walking around the gate clockwise, here it is with the pagoda exactly behind it. What you can't see here is the small path going up to the gate just outside of the picture on the left side. Which would be the second one I mentioned before.

A photo taken a bit more to the left (or west, if that helps) than the previous one. The small stone bridge on the picture before not quite visible on this one. It would be between the two 'islands' just right of the middle here. To the left you can again see the gate. And in the background the pagoda, which is some 150 metres or so away. In front of the bench you can see one of the paths I mentioned.
