Wow, some really high quality shots in there. I bassume you have hi-res versions of same? Did you spend one day in London without me? I don't even remember seeing some of that shiz. Also, for the record:

1. The round building is indeed a library: the Radcliffe Camera, which is the only round library in the world, apparently.

2. The view is from St Mary's, not St Elizabeth's.

3. It's called the gherkin, not the egg.
