we stumbled into city hall by accident, knowing nothing about this marvelous piece of architecture. when you reach this view you don't know which to gawk at - city hall juxtaposed with tower bridge or the swiss re building poking its head up above the buildings on the other side of the thames.

norman foster has solidly stamped his signature on london. we arrived at stansted airport, a foster design. our favourite buildings around london ended up being foster designs. we loved the jaunt from tate modern to st. paul's over foster's millennium bridge. london should change its name to normanfosterville.

the guardian has some more info about the city hall when it was constructed. below are some shots i took of foster's wondrous edifice. i spared you the tourist shots we took of each other kicking the large, black, steel balls outside. i can note, however, that we had to queue up behind kids to get the shots.

next trip i want to try and go inside, the interior looks spectacular.
