London old and new living in harmony

There are many places in the world where you can find modern buildings. Sky scrapers that have taken the place of a life long past. In London however you can find the most modern building next to one that has been there over a hunderd years. It is not far from the London City with the Shard, Loyds, the Cheese Grater and other fancy buildings to Tower Bridge, just east or st Paul's Cathedral west and about 5 minutes further one of the few remaining original pubs The Old Chesire Cheese. The current pub was rebuild after the great fire over 300 years ago and well worth a visit, located at Fleet Street just minutes away from.st Paul's. I recommend you stay near Tower Bridge in the Indigo hotel and after a good breakfast cross Tower Bridge and walk and cross the Thames again just after London bridge to see St Paul's, the West end, Covent Garden, Neals Yard and Westminster with Big Ben, the Wheel and the famous guards. This is a good walk and will take you most of the day. Bus 15 at Charing Cross will take you back to just outside the hotel where you can relax before eating in one of the many restaurants. For Chinese try My Old Place about 5 minutes away, for Thai the restaurant next to the hotel or have one of the many other cuisines available. If you arrive at Heathrow take the new Elizabeth line, and safe at least £18, on a quick transfer.
