the skytrains run mainly on rubber wheels, with guidewheels enclosed by concrete walls
as you can see, no metal rails
so the trains travel like giant Tamiya race cars in contained tracks in a mechanical layman sense
An unobstructed dignified view of the good 'ol control tower
much better!
many of the glass lifts we see in littered all round T3
theres a total of 36 of them in total! (note the space age light slit)
a distant view of the lift well
with the motors exposed at the top
There's still lots of unfinished work around, such as rolls of spare carpet lying around too!
and more chow outlets!
Thats all Folks! See you at the Jan 9th official grand opening!
Meet my friend, his name is Ben, he is big.
Big Ben is actually the bell which lives inside the clock tower
Few of the lifely buskers on the streets
A view from afar
Parliament square westminster palace
View of the buildings along Parliament square
Some close ups
The Abbey's western facade
Westminster palace along Abingdon street
At the palace
It looks just like the castles in Cambridge :P
Big Ben ain't that big!
Time to continue the walk!
At the Victoria embankment!
The London eye & Aquarium in sight
Crossing the Westminster bridge
With the palace behind us
Who can resist another photo?
The bridge is decked!
The County Hall & aquarium
The view of the palace from afar.. again
Approaching the other end of the embankment
County hall resturant with stone lions
Yup stoney lions
At the Aquarium entrance
A normal gloomy day in London. :3
There were some exhibtions by the Millennium Pier
The London eye sits on these massive supports spanning over the broadwalk
It is driven by these heavy duty motors
The wheel does look daunting from below
Launching an observation, one capsule at a time!
The the top of the apex!
The eye is surprising crowded for a weekday
A group photo!
Street performers by the Jubilee gardens
Strolling along the Millennium pier
Isles of dogs, mmm
Carnivals near the festival pier
