It's funny how we take things for granted. I regularly travel up to London to work and never really noticed anything, but the last few times I've been looking around and seeing things that have passed me by during previous trips.
I guess now that I've only a few weeks before I leave the UK, I'm tending to notice things that I will miss. Things like the cluster of red telephone boxes outside Charing Cross station, and the amount of things that happen in Trafalgar Square.
I remember the big screen that was erected during the Olympics and a couple of weeks ago there was an artistic installation where your shadow was replaced by moving images - very clever, and it's great to see this marvellous space being used.
I love wandering through the Victorian arcades, such as Burlington Arcade and Princes Arcade and, at the moment, they look their absolute best in their festive finery. Also, the Bond Street illuminations this year outdo (I think) those of its larger siblings, Oxford and Regent Streets.
I've a few more trips before the end of the year, so I shall have to remember to take my camera with me so I can capture a few memories of London at Christmas time.
