[ Parliament with Big Ben ]

Pretty self-explanatory, I'd say.


[ Plaque for John By ]

Just down the path and across the river from Parliament is a small plaque set in a wall honouring the (presumably nearby) birthplace of Colonel John By, founder of Ottawa. I guess the Historical Society of Ottawa (all three members) thought this was worth marking.


[ MI6 headquarters ]

Speaking of James Bond, this large, heavily fortified, security camera festooned building with no sign out front is the headquarters of MI6, Britain's secret service.


[ Cops rousting a homeless man ]

Sorry for the blurry shot but I didn't want the officers to turn their attention to me as they busied themselves with rousting a homeless man next to Covent Gardens Market. I'm not sure why, given that London does not really seem to have a serious problem with the homeless. I suppose this could be why...
