London, 2022

Covid is finally over, so it was about time to resume long-distance trips. And of course, it was amazing, 23 days. I didn't sleep a single day home this vacations. Worked a Friday, flew on the same day, back on the airport a Monday to work on the same morning.

Anyway, as I love this city, of course I had to go back. My 3rd time there, but still we decided to have 11 days there. London was just a bit emptier, Covid definitely left an impact.

Heading back to the hotel on the first day. We enjoy a Sam Smith and a Coldplay concert on the O2 Arena two hours after leaving Heathrow:

A bit of East End, Spitafields, Shoreditch, Hackney with the most amazing local guide in the world, a fellow SSP/SSC friend:

And surprise, SNOW!!! London was freezing (-5°C to 1°C during the whole trip). First time I saw it, so it was very exciting. And there was no forecast beforehand, completely unexpected:

Love this pic, that building's so futuristic and industrial, and crazy that it was designed near half a century ago

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...191fda01_b.jpg


Also London in inclement weather always makes it look like a different time

Yeah, it's an incredible building. And it aged very well.

Three days after the snow, nothing melt. We were to Regent's Park and for our surprise the lakes were completely frozen. Very thick ice:
