London at Night

London looks incredible at night- all the monuments are aglow, the Westminster Abbey looks like it emerges out of nothingness, the Big Ben's intricate ironwork fully visible against the pitch black sky. The tower of London is less like a bridge and more like two ancient buildings connected via latticework. Incredible. I stood on the top of the bus in the bitter cold and felt like I'd been living under some kind of delusion these past twenty two years - the past was more complicated than my history books had led on. I had to see it to believe it.
