London video clips – 1st reel

Some high-definition clips from London were assembled into a a few minutes of how some time in London was spent.

Starts with some wildlife outside of Buckingham Palace, and then moves on to some singing crowds in Soho – and a video clip of “Lee Ho Fook” from the Warren Zevon song.

Werewolves of London – Lee Ho Fook

Chinatown is in the Soho area of London… when you see the red lanterns you are in the main area.

Werewolves?

Yes, there still is a Lee Ho Fook chinese restautant in London, as written – and sung – about by Warren Zevon in his 1970’s song “Werewolves of London”. I ate there, but didn’t order the “big dish of beef chow mein”. Maybe next time.

Watch the song’s video:

Mac OS launch being promoted in London

This guy smiled at me after I snapped his photo… he was one of 2 or 3 others walking around Soho in London on a Friday night promoting the Mac OS Leopard Launch.

London Tower

This is the south side of the London Tower, near the entrance and the dungeon area.  It’s from a Saturday and lots of people were visiting.

Home… with a pile of mail waiting

Made it back from London… British Airways was a bad experience (again), due to multiple problems with service, and having their clocks be an hour off.

Going around the world… today it’s finished!  Next time hopefully will be a new itinerary… more places… more fun.

Shakespeare’s Head

It’s a bar, founded originally by distant relative’s of Williams… go to Soho and you can find it hopping with people on a Friday night.

London Tower Guard

The London Tower guard moved every once in a while to change position, lift his gun, etc.

London Calling

The Big Ben clock tower is in the background.

Tower Bridge – London

 The bridge’s drawbridge went up just after this photo was taken.

And, on the way out are toilets… way out toilets…

John Cusack and me

A film festival in London brought some stars there … including John Cusack.
