Temat zimy w Londynie jest, jak they say, Germany, der Schnee von Gestern , although the snow is really a Sunday (in other words, the snow falls here on holidays). Still there are hysterical news reports of renewed rainfall in other parts of England a little here and there, falling into, but London keeps you warm. Usually in the metropolis temperature is slightly higher than in the area due to the amount emitted by cars and heat homes, but can the British meteorologists have not heard about it. I hope that winter is gone, because I no longer want to stand in line to the subway (well, and so I stand once in a while).
day backlog and catch up a little mention of the BT Tower. So that just happened, that I recently had the opportunity to stay at the lookout tower of BT in London. Well, the bulge is such a thing in central London, according to me looks like a Socialist Realism and the ruins of the city skyline. It has a 189m, was built in the 60 to transmit signals telekomunkacyjne. Initially, one of the floors was a restaurant, 
, however, was closed to the public in 1980 for safety reasons. Interestingly, had this place was only 9 years after the IRA bombing (bomb planted in 1971 in this restaurant). The photos are of poor quality because I had his camera. In addition, glass was a little vague and lighting 'adverse'. View on London from the top reassured myself that this is simply a terribly big of Italy. Somewhere het het, there were several high-rises of Canary Wharf, but the same center is a densely built-up niewysokimi houses. In the center there is practically no wider than a two-lane street, which further intensifies the claustrophobic feeling. Night photos of U.S. cities associate me with rivers of light, here are a few streets and behind. However, it was great to ride the elevator and look in advance. The restaurant reportedly was such a ...
Oh, and despite the fact that snow had fallen, stopped my subway line for the weekend. In place of the crowded bus ride. Are frequent, but the man himself does not seem the case with the performance of a meter. My line, Northern line, the most widely used in London. Paradoxically, the majority supports noon in London (though it may have some meaning-whisks people to the north). According Wikipedia carries about 0.5 million people per day (206,734,000 annually). As you can see, I love numbers, so: the platform is 110m, is located on the six coaches, officially takes up the 912 passengers (seats + 4 persons / m ^ 2). At peak hours on one square meter is definitely more people (this is a function not only space but also the determination of the passengers:). For comparison, two-story London bus has about 66 seats at the bottom to fit even with 20-30 people standing (at the top may not be, and usually no one is). Well, there is no comparison to what to do large-Northern line mitzvah sometimes more than 20 stores per hour if you wanted to replace it that their buses had to be about 200 in the same one hour ... Not to mention the speed of the bus.
why fix subway at night and weekends;)
PS. Sometimes people here are really scared as the metro is disabled. Today I saw a few people really confused. Despite dozens of advertisements, inscriptions, posters and arrows, suddenly they did not know where to go, to get to their stations. Maybe tourists? : P Although it's really hard to understand announcement in a moving car.
