London Architecture

One thing I have always been quite found of is the incredible architecture of London. It is quite fascinating how this city has evolved over centuries and the historical relevance of its buildings. I remember when we first arrived in London walking around the city in utter fascination at how incredibly beautiful the buildings were. It was like walking through a movie set as there is not such rich architecture in California.
The walking tour of the city was very interesting because it made the fusion of old London and new London very apparent. Although the old buildings have made a stamp on London I was actually quite amazed by the modern architecture as there was a building that was built inside out which I found to be absolutely genius since it was innovative and added a little edge to the city’s personality. The other building I found to be quite unique was the Gherkin. This phallic skyscraper is beautiful at any angle with its woman hips and curvature.
This tour as well as being in London has given me a greater appreciation for architecture especially seeing the pride that Londoners have in their city. It has taught me to adapt to new surroundings and grow to understand and value all that is past and present.
