This weekend brought some much needed spring sunshine to London and the city was looking its absolute best.

Daffodils have sprouted in St. James’ park, creating a lovely and quintessentially springtime presence nearby Buckingham Palace. The sky was ablaze all weekend, and few clouds were in sight (a rarity for London). This meant that sunsets were particularly beautiful, especially along the Thames or behind Big Ben.

I find beauty in London everyday, from its stunning architecture to the subtle historic details running throughout. However, It is weekends such as this that I wish I could pack this city up and bring it home so that all the people in my life can appreciate it.  I therefore decided to create a video which aims to encapsulate the essence of London and in particular its unique charm.

I invite you all as well to view my video, especially if you are considering spending some time at the LSE and London.

Additionally, photography has long been one of my favorite endeavors and I created a gallery featuring my work from this weekend. That can be found by following this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aurley/sets/72157642179997644/.
