Something a little different!

After a hectic week of Dunrobin, my fiancée and I spent a weekend in London – to escape the heritage World for a few days! However, along the way there were a few sitings of interest!
Below: Much of the Thames waterfront seems to be flats and offices now, but there are some great original buildings amongst them, including this warehouse complete with cranes and derricks.

Below: This is the Sailing Barge Cabby, built in 1928 and also fitted with a motor. It weighs in at 76 tons and is today used for charter work from Tower Bridge, the hold being fitted out as a dining area. Originally it would have sailed from London to ports on the south and east coasts, with occasional trips to the continent.

Below: There seem to almost be as many of the legendary Routemaster buses at work on excursions, charters and wedding work today as used to appear on the streets of London! This short bodied example was seen near Trafalgar Square.
