London Heathrow is one of the busiest airports in the world. From what I saw, there’s an average of 1 commercial aircraft landing per minute. That pretty much means back to back, non-stop flights coming in.

If you’re good at maths and economics, you can calculate the number of tourists coming in and the amount of money they’re gonna spend here. Tourism is a huge business in this part of the world!

“Selamat Datang ke London Heathrow Airport.” It’s 6 in the morning and totally jet-lagged!

Prior to landing, I saw houses that looks very similar to those I saw on my Monopoly board game.

and then there was the Millennium dome, which was still under construction. It is also known as the O2 Arena.

After touch down, I went through some stringent custom checkpoints.

Claimed the baggages.

and went straight into the Underground and took the next train to central London.

Welcome to the famous King’s Cross Railway station.

The expensive breakfast at Burger King. £5 for a whopper meal. That’s about RM25!!! WOOT!

The Double Decker Bus

One of the many famous icons of London – the London double-decker bus. Anyone going to Liverpool Street?

The original bus tour.

Buckingham Palace

This is the Buckingham Palace.

Entrance to the Buckingham Palace.

The London Underground

Another famous icon – The London Underground. This is the world’s oldest underground railway system. It’s been running since 1863 would you believe! and parts of the underground looks really, really worn.

Err, is this India? No shit, that’s London Underground. Major renovation required.

I don’t think that’s art, is it? Again, major refurbishment work required.

Not to be confused with the Waterloo in Belgium. This is the Waterloo underground station in London.

Luckily the train isn’t as old as the underground itself.

The London Dungeon

The London Dungeon is a tourist attraction, based in Tooley Street, London, near London Bridge rail station. It recreates various gory and macabre historical events in a style which attempts to make them appealing to the younger generation. Using a mixture of live actors, special effects and rides, the Dungeon brings the horrible history of London back to life in a scary but funny way.

- Wikipedia

The building that houses the London Dungeon. It has a V2 rocket hanging by its side.

Enter at your own Peril. It means that when you enter the dungeon, your safety is not their responsibility and if you scream for help, even you mama can’t help you! It’s that scary!

The London Bridge

That’s Cannon Street Railway Bridge to the west of the London Bridge. No picture of the London bridge as I’m standing on it. :/ But, here’s the Wikipedia’s photo of the bridge.

The London Bridge badge.

Another London Bridge badge.

Tower Bridge

Many people are mistaken this bridge as the London bridge. I was too when I was younger. But this is the Tower Bridge. The bridge can be raised up to allow ships to cross the river.

Again, this is an icon of London. Needless to mention, every picture I took in London is an icon. Geez.

Famous Brands

Marks & Spencer. Yeah, the one in KLCC, Kuala Lumpur. They’re originated from the U.K.

McDonald’s, typical, they’re everywhere. But they’re Made in the U.S.A. I wonder when will its branch be opened in Bintulu?

The world’s largest mobile communication network provider, based in England.

Random Crap

Okay, enough of the sight-seeing. Now let’s give you all some eye-washer pics.

Hey, I didn’t know AhPek got open pharmacy in London. Must be damn rich, man!!

If you were asking if this is Ah Pek’s Rolls Royce, Yes! it is. And it has a double bed installed right behind it!

WOoo lala, this is totally Not Safe For Work!! This must be Wingz and Ah Pek’s favorite hideout. MingKAI, is this where you did phone sex everyday?
These flyers are seen at many phone booths throughout London. Europeans are very open minded about sex, especially the Dutch

Malaysian Embassy in Belgrave Square. If you Malaysian got any problems at all, just approach them.

I think I can find this t-shirt in Petaling Street (Chee Cheong Kai). Whoever buys it in London, please check my price, I can get it for you for under £3.

What are you looking at?
Found this dog while on the way to the London Eye. Rather amusing.

Oh, did I say I was going to the London Eye? Watch out for the next post.
