The Tower Bridge from the right and left banks of the Thames. Below the famed prison - Tower of London full of dungeons and ghosts of victims of attrocities.
 Near Tower Hill is this ancient church (below - left) which claims to be the oldest church in London...and right next door the metal and glass of modern office buildings.  London is a mishmash of old and new and in Hackney Downs, where I am staying, they have the remaining tower of a church from the 1200's (below- right) across the street from MacDonalds...it makes for interesteing sightseeing.  You can just hop a bus and be amused by the streetscapes.

War memorials are another common sight in communities around London - from ancient battles to the young men who fell during World War I from the Hackney Down parish.  The memorial is in the park of the church grounds.
