Continuing around the Moat - more poppies, and The Shard building in the background across the River Thames beside London Bridge station

On again


A fearsome entrance



Animals



Another cascade; in the background can be seen the building known as 'The Gherkin', at 30 St. Mary Axe, the former site of the Baltic Exchange. The other prominent white building to the right is the former Port of London Authority headquarters.



Tower Bridge was beside and then behind me as I continued walking around the moat



The last part of the moat as I completed my circuit of The Tower of London
