BLACKHEATH, LONDON


Blackheath is a village in London, centred on an area of open grassland ('the heath') and straddling boundary of the London Borough of Lewisham and the London Borough of Greenwich. Can you believe that this open space lies somewhere in the centre of LONDON.
Unbelievable ?? Blackheath is also well-known as the start point of the London Marathon. The pub near the church is ever so crowded (both inside and outside) on a hot summer day.

CITY HALL, LONDON


This is the City Hall (home of the Mayor of London, the London Assembly and the GLA). In July 2002 they all became tenants of this striking rounded glass building on the south bank of the Thames near Tower Bridge. Maybe you could post a comment on this strange building... Do you like it or not and why?
And if you want to know why this building is "Green", just click here: http://www.london.gov.uk/gla/city_hall/city_hall_green.jsp
