Thanks for the comments on the photos.

Was in London on vacation & huffed & puffed my way (I'm really out of shape) up the 500+ steps to get the top of St Paul's. Most interesting thing to see was the construction.

Construction site in relationship to the surrounding area. Just a few cranes were up in the neighborhood.
