kimbofo  > London > Architecture tour by bike
London is full of Baroque buildings, but you have to know where to find them. Thanks to a four-hour bike tour led by expert David Garrard of English Heritage we got to see them and find out a bit about their history. Beginning with Christopher Wren's masterpiece, St Paul's Cathedral, and finishing with another of his great works, the Old Naval College, Greenwich, we covered more than 20 miles on both sides of the Thames.

The tour was organised by Open City. You can find out more about them by visiting http://open-city.org.uk/index.html

These pictures were taken using a Panasonic TZ3 on Saturday, 1 September, 2012.
