<br/>New Hungerford Bridge on the west side of railway bridge leading to Charing Cross Station. There is another similar bridge on the east side, which replaced the old footbridge.

<br/>Eye ! Eye ! the view of the London Eye from Tony Blair's office 2006. Across from the Prime Minister's Residence this is probably the view from Number 10 Downing Street.

<br/>The "Tattershall Castle" moored near the bridge, with the Waterloo Bridge in the background.

<br/>The "Hispaniol" parked just about under the bridge. Strange, but the image doesn't appear to show an "a" at the end of the vessel's name. Is that correct or is it that the image just isn't clear enough??

<br/>The City of London, and a beach on the Thames, as seen from Waterloo Bridge.

<br/>The H.O.S. "Wellington" of the Master Mariners. I was just walking along the footpath, by this vessel, and thought that I would be cheeky and go aboard. All I can say is that I was very favourably impressed by the courteous reception I received, even though I was neither a Member nor anyone liable to so be. The Crew on duty showed me around and, from memory, even shouted me a drink. Good Public Relations, for sure.

<br/>The "Queen Mary" is between the photographer and the Bridge whilst the "Wellington" is beyond it. And I assume that the vessel to the right is a river version of a road-sweeper?
©Ron Hann
<br/>Although the front of the building says Charing Cross Station, would I be right in assuming that this an hotel constructed over the actual railway terminal??

<br/>Located in John Adam Street on south side of The Strand, this building was designed for the society by Robert Adam in the 1770's.

    No!! It looks like Boris is getting rid of the western extension of the congestion charge zone. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7752046.stm Seems a move in the wrong direction to me. London's roads are so busy, I think people …
