There is so much red in London - and it's not a dull or shy red. No, the London red is bold and bright.
Phone booths, mail boxes, buses on busy roads. Red wherever you look.
The tube stations are announced with a bright red circle, and the dominating color at Piccadilly circle is red.
The famous guards at Buckingham Palace wear red uniforms, and of course red is an important color in the flag of the City of London.
You find red on Tower Bridge as well - like in this image where you can see the middle part of this famous Victorian bridge and the hyper-modern Shard behind it.
Why so much red, one might wonder. While I don't have an answer, I think it's just to set a vibrant accent to the often grey and rainy days. You can see red quite well in the fog!
This one is a classic - I couldn't resist!
