Wish you were here - the Olympics are in London.
Remember the pedestrianisation of Trafalgar Square
in 2003? Now its 2012, and Whitehall and Parliament
Square are also traffic free zones. The Horseguards
Parade is host to the volleyball Olympics, and the
Palace of Westminster's foreground is a riverside
park. London is an ecological sanctuary.
You arrive at Waterloo with clear views up to the
river and the London Eye. Embankment is a recreational
green that stretches along the banks of the Thames.
Now that the river is so clean and the tides are
controlled, there are beaches and swimming areas,
with a string of public jetties and piers adorning
the South side.
