We could have been metres from each other without realizing it.

Here are some photos of the pedestrian tunnel under the Thames at Greenwich. The south entrance starts just beside the Cutty Sark and the northern entrance is across the river at Island Gardens, a park at the southern tip of the isle of dogs. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_foot_tunnel

The narrower section of tunnel in this photo is an inner lining added during WWII to repair bomb damage.

Cool, thanks for sharing your trip, sci.
Thought Im traveling with you in London, while I see the photos.

These photos were taken in Soho, just north of Regent Street and show the Liberty department store, established in 1875.

This is a memorial to the employees of the Metropolitan Railway Company who gave their lives in the First World War. It's located in the Baker Street station of the Metropolitan Line Subway and is one of many such memorials all over London.

Here are some more photos from the Egyptian collection at the British Museum, taken on my visit on the 19th of August.

False door from an Egyptian tomb.

The less frequently photographed back side of the Rosetta Stone.

Out of curiosity, and because I saw a few pictures from here in the iPhone Forum:
Did you use your iPhone for all these pictures, or did you also use your point-and-shoot camera?

I used a combination of my iPhone, iPad, and point and shoot camera. I don't remember exactly which camera was used for each picture.

Hi Scifan.. - missed that post on the British Museum - I've been there several times (a while ago) and was asounded by the number of pieces - one really has to visit to even have a visual sense of the vast amount of artifacts - the Greece vases amazes just as starters! Dave

No matter what you used: I don't really notice a difference.
