Capital of the world?

This story says London is the world capital of the 21st century. Maybe, maybe not - but I'm ready to get back there. The story cites the "Gherkin" building (above) as a sign of London's resurgence. We stayed not far from the palatial pickle last time we were in London. East London has lots of modern buildings because most of the old ones were leveled by the German air force in World War II.

The Thames at night

Check out this view of the river Thames (pronounced "Tims")at London. The huge ferris wheel at left is called the London Eye and is a prime attraction. This view isn't far from (and is perpendicular to) the one below - "London at Night".
