How rude (followed swiftly by "where did October go?"). <br /><br />@ Oneika: they were all taken with my iPhone! I really should get into the habit of carrying a camera around in my handbag. Don't worry though, many people make the mistake of calling it South-wark. Equally confusing is Borough which is not pronounced Burrow but more like Burra. <br /><br />@ David: well, London Bridge station certainly needed a serious overhaul so I guess they figured it was as good a time as any to build the tallest building in Europe there! You can read more about the Shard by visiting my <a href="http://missus-emm.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Shard" rel="nofollow">The Shard</a> label. <br /><br />@ William: we certainly got a sunny and warm October, didn't we?<br /><br />@ Li: they were all taken with my iPhone! October was mostly warm but the cold weather has brought with it a whole lot of colds, flu and sore throats!<br /><br />@ Kathy: yes! I do love the juxtaposition of old and new in this area. <br /><br />@ Life Ramblings: I hope so! It is looking a bit dull at th moment. <br /><br />@ Tina: me too! And don't worry. I know how life gets in the way sometimes. <br /><br />@ John: wasn't October just gorgoeus?<br /><br />@ Danielle: I agree, I just love working in Southwark. It is a charming place!<br /><br />@ Ola: Borough Market is quite beautiful to see as it is tucked away beneath the railway bridges and beside Southwark cathedral. <br /><br />@ Victoria: thank you! I am really taking the time to appreciate this autumn and am loving the colours and autumn fashions. <br /><br />@ The Astral Cowboy: thank you! I just wish it had come out clearer. <br /><br />@ Karen: it might have been the same replica abi believe this one has taken a fair amount of journeys too! The Shard will be 76 storeys high and will have a hotel. The smaller Place will have offices and retail, I think. <br /><br />@ Sarah: many people make that mistake!!!<br /><br />@ Spiderdama: Southwark Cathedral is just stunning. <br /><br />@ Ryan: I love everything pirate too. You can definitely climb all over the ship, but perhaps not up to the crow's nest. <br /><br />@ Sarah B: I'm guessing you're a fan of the book <i>A Wrinkle in Time</i>? I love that about the United Kingdom too. It is magical. <br /><br />@ Jen: awesome! I must go on a Harry Potter tour soon<br /><br />@ London Caller: me too!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />@Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931248631361366673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-82728391567636141312011-10-05T18:41:14.614+01:002011-10-05T18:41:14.614+01:00I love the Borough Market. ;)

I wonder if it is the same replica ship. Is The Place a hotel? It looks taller than 20 stories in your photo. Looks like a lovely place to stay.
