A Nighttime Stroll Along the South Bank

In my last post I told everyone that I was about to go to the River Thames to go strolling and take nighttime shots. This is the story of that adventure.

After departing the National Theatre on Monday, my friend Megan was in awe of the buildings lit up along the South Bank of the River Thames, and she suggested that we come there the following night, cameras in tote, and go for a stroll along the banks to take some nighttime pictures and relax.  I suggested we did the the following night, and it was decided.

Cut to Tuesday night. We arrived at the Waterloo Tube Station at around 730, and after a few short steps from the station entrance, the massive London Eye was looming over our heads, lit up in shades of blue and orange. It was simply breathtaking, and we couldn't resist taking the uber touristy pictures in front of the London Eye.

We continued on the South Bank, then decided to cross over when we saw how regal and majestic the Big Ben and Houses of Parliament looked at night. It was just begging to be photographed! And to make it even more perfect, there was hardly anyone walking around at night because it was a frigid night.

We looped around the walkway on the North side of the River Thames, and walked along the river until we found a tube station. Though we were a little chilly and our cheeks were a little rosy, it was a perfect way to spend a night in London. It was pretty cheap too!
