Tate Modern - Picadilly Circus - St James Church - Hyde Park Winter Wonderland

 London - Our first stop was Tate Modern London is a modern art gallery and is Britain's national gallery of international modern art and forms part of the Tate group. It is based in the former Bankside Power Station, in the Bankside area of the London Borough of Southwark.  




Such a unique building - symmetrical design that plays on your mind.  

Tate Modern Fountain

A 13-metre (42ft) statue that draws on the legacies of Queen Victoria, the British empire and the transatlantic slave trade could help trigger a radical reassessment of public monuments in Britain, according to its curator.






After the Tate museum, we walked along the banks and cross the Millenium Bridge



Our lunch....pizza




Nice delicious thin crusted pizza 


Pax at Nelson Column located at Trafalgar square.  


We walked and waked and finally reach Picadily circus



The Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, popularly but incorrectly known as "Eros", is a fountain surmounted by a winged statue of Anteros, located at the southeastern side of Piccadilly Circus in London, 



We cross to Hyde park for the winter wonderland - it was so crowded.   




It was a long day and a train ride back to our hotel..
