For today\u00b4s post, I thought I would show you a bit of\u00a0London in pictures<\/strong>. They depict some wonderfully colourful, funny and weird items and situations at different places and times throughout the year, over the years. Hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A touch of Hindi culture in. Diwali festival<\/strong>,\u00a0Trafalgar Square.<\/p>\n

\"London<\/a><\/p>\n

China in\u00a0London. My friend Lisa does\u00a0the best Chinese cooking I have ever tried!<\/p>\n

\"London<\/p>\n

Now, who would have thought that\u00a0London was going to be so icy<\/strong> – again! I took this picture from my window just a few weeks ago. The transport chaos that usually follows just a few leaves falling on the ground\u00a0was…<\/p>\n

\"London<\/a><\/p>\n

\"London<\/a>… Scary! This was taken during the witch night in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the good things about the icy-cold weather was this ice sculpting festival<\/strong> in the Docklands at the end of\u00a0last year. Funny enough, some of the sculptures were melting a bit, while attendees were freezing by the minute!<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"London<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"London\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"London<\/p>\n

Back in town now. This is the sculpture on the fourth plimpton<\/strong> in Trafalgar Square. Before this one, there was the bust of a disabled, pregnant\u00a0lady who became a bit of a celeb for a while.<\/p>\n

\"London<\/a><\/p>\n

Just walking behind main roads, I have come across some really nice\u00a0little squares with\u00a0lovely sculptures or works of art. This one is near Piccadilly.<\/p>\n

\"London<\/a>\u00a0It is the sun and the moon. The contrast in the sunlight was just amazing.<\/p>\n

Strange sculptures appear everywhere. I have found out that animals, and cows<\/strong>, tend to be the most numerous. I will publish some pics I have taken in Camden Town in another entry.<\/p>\n

\"London<\/a><\/p>\n

You can also find eggs<\/strong>!! These eggs are part of a street exhibition\/ contest\u00a0which is taking place here ahead of Easter.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"London\u00a0\u00a0\"London\u00a0\u00a0\"London\u00a0\u00a0\"London<\/p>\n

Some graffitti for your eyes only. These pics were taken in Brick\u00a0Lane and in the tunnels near the Old Vic, where cool underground exhibitions take place.<\/p>\n

\"London<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"London<\/a><\/p>\n

Some\u00a0little\u00a0lovely bunnies near Spitalfields market. \u00a0\"London<\/p>\n

\"London<\/a>\u00a0In the city that is hosting the Olympics this year.<\/p>\n

Hurray? The\u00a0Lord Mayor exhibition ends with some fireworks.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"London<\/a><\/p>\n

\"London<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0Hope you have enjoyed. See you soon!<\/p>\n
