London: A fleeting return
I lived in London for 16 years before heading north to Manchester. The first four years of this blog detailed places around the capital.
I found myself back in London recently on a very brief stopover. But long enough to ride the Elizabeth Line, the newest artery of London’s Tube network.
On the way I looked up and captured some new architecture above ground.
Have you been on the Elizabeth Line? Tell me what you thought in the comment section below.
Love that shot of the curved concrete roof. I think when I was in London end of May the line was just opened or about to open; it’s definitely on my list for the next visit.

Oh it’s definitely worth a look and the way to travel. I took an old Tube line afterwards and it felt so cramped, hot and elderly!

Great photos Mike, I’ve taken the E line on my last couple of trips to London, quite a stark contrast with the Bakerloo or Northern lines. I also took a(nother) look at your photos of the Aldwych station and wonder if visits still occur. Many happy memories of that location from my time at King’s.

Glad you like them, Andy, thanks! It was a very brief visit so I did a few central Betty Line stations. Then went on the Piccadilly line which felt Third World in comparison! I think Aldwych still hosts visits – that seems so long ago now!
