A Room with a View (of an Airshaft)

While in London, we stayed here. It bills itself as a 5-star hotel on the Albert Embankment with gorgeous views of the Thames and one of the 50 best restaurants in Europe.

We did not eat at the restaurant (it's not Dave's kind of food).

This was our view.

By day:

By night:

I'm pretty sure the red lights are from the restaurant.

I should say that the room itself was very nice, with a kitchenette of which we took full advantage. There was a turndown service that brought us chocolates every night and the room service was tasty. There were also no screens on the windows, so I took all those images leaning out into the open air. And it was a nice walk from everywhere we wanted to be.

We just couldn't see those places from the room.
