London Underground
2017-08-07 03:03:37 UTCLondon’s Underground rail system was a lot of fun. It was easily one of the main highlights of the first leg of my trip. With an Oyster card (a ticket you can preload with a weekly fare for example) enabled me to get around Central London easily. The iconography of… -
London Eye
2017-08-03 18:27:05 UTCSince I saw St. Paul’s Cathedral in the morning I had the rest of the day to explore the city. South Bank is where I ended up first and I came across a building with DC Comics characters plastered on the side. I was way too curious not to head… -
London: St. Paul’s Cathedral (Interior)
2017-07-29 18:35:15 UTCAfter a full day of traveling around South Bank and checking out Tate Modern I walked to Blackfriars to see St. Paul’s Cathedral. I was initially drawn to it because it’s resemblance to The Capitol Building in DC. I guess that’s the other way around considering the age of the… -
London: Hampton Court Palace
2017-07-28 15:10:59 UTCA lot of planning went into my first trip to London recently but there was room for spontaneity. On a beautiful summer day I went to explore Hampton Court Palace. The palace was where Henry VIII lived. Since the palace was so massive I spent half the day exploring. Construction… -
London: Colville Square
2017-07-27 13:07:56 UTCOne day after I saw all of the tourist attractions I wanted to check out in London I decided to do something more low key. I got on the tube and randomly got off at Notting Hill. Since my first few days in London were primarily about getting used to… -
London: Amy Winehouse Exhibit
2017-07-26 22:26:51 UTCAn essential stop for me in London was Camden Town. Specifically The Jewish Museum. I already saw the exhibit: Amy Winehouse, A Family Portrait in San Francisco a few years ago. It was important for me to see the one in Camden because that’s one of the places where she… -
London: The West End
2017-07-24 16:59:15 UTCOne part of London I was curious about was Piccadilly Circus. When I got there (via The London Underground) I felt like I was in familiar territory. The reason for that is Piccadilly Circus to me feels like a less cramped, more open version of Times Square. I generally avoid… -
London: Window at St. Margaret’s Church
2017-07-22 20:30:10 UTCWestminster Abbey was where I went on my third day in London. I didn’t realize how majestic it would be until I walked there from the tube station near Hyde Park. It was very difficult to decide what to paint “live” because of all the beautiful architecture. I wanted to… -
London: Tower Bridge iPad Painting
2017-07-21 22:20:00 UTCI arrived in London without much sleep due to various delays LaGuardia Airport. I dropped everything off at where I was staying in Abbey Wood before heading back to Central London. The tube is very similar to New York’s subway system so I acclimated to getting around quickly. My central… -
