London Eye



London to me was just as if I was walking in super clean Mumbai ………..The colonial structures that every Indian can relate to embellishes the Brit capital.The air is whisk as the Thames flows murky.

The Queen , her Palace “The Buckingham” , her guards, the Westminster’s Abbey , the Big Ben , The Piccadilly Square ,The bright red buses………… ......so much to look forward.Not to forget the London Bridge that we recited as a nursery rhyme.
