Last day in London

On our last day in London, we saw one of the oldest buildings, and one of the newest buildings.

In the morning, we saw the Tower of London.

This is probably the oldest hinge I have ever seen:

This is one thing I didn't expect from London... The grass is SO GREEN. This photo wasn't edited or filtered at all. The lawn actually looked neon green.

Instead of carving into this old tree that everyone else carved into at Hyde Park, we left $0.17 USD so that someday a little kid could dig it up and their parents could explain to them how American money is worth basically nothing compared to the pound.  

And we took some obligatory photos at Buckingham Palace. 

London has some of the prettiest puddles you will ever see.

If you ever want to see the view from the Shard, but you don't want to pay the money to get to the observation deck, just sneak into the bar:

If you look closely at this picture, you can see that the designers of this building cleverly encased the steel columns in mirrors so they blend in with the view.

On the way home, we found this undulating facade that may or may not be a fancy storage unit.
