Lovely photos! The weather was certainly kind to you :)

Shame the Temple Church was shut but it does seem to have quite random opening times. I was on a walk once with a City of London Blue Guide and even she wasn't sure it would be open.

That view from Greenwich Observatory is fabulous.

Re: Temple Church, there's always the next London visit.

I had recalled Greenwich as pretty, but I don't think we went up to the observatory, you and I, when we were there with Roz a couple of yours ago, so I was charmed by the beauty of the view.

No, we didn't go up there that time. It's extraordinary how much that view has changed over the last few years. Another good open air view of London is from Primrose Hill on the north side of Regent's Park, but it doesn't come with Greenwich's other attractions.

Beautiful, beautiful photos. Now I really want to go back to England, although I've been there several times and there are many other places I haven't been.

I love the additions to Johnson's house. Thanks for telling us about them!

I shake my tiny fist of envy in your general direction.

Beautiful! This is getting me excited for my planned trip to London in January--though I doubt the weather will be as nice!

You never know! Just be sure to bring an umbrella along, and the sun will be there. ;)
