Bus Ride through the City of London (HD)

You asked for it - and you wanted it in high definition! So here it is, another bus ride - this time the No.28 as it passes through the capital's financial heart - the City of London. This time I have included the original audio from the bus ride mixed with some ambient bass guitar music to give you a great journey through the historic City. If you fancy following the journey on a map: We start at Cannon Street at the junction with Bread Street, and head east towards Queen Victoria Street. Passing Bank underground station with the Bank of England building on the left, we head on to Threadneedle Street. The bus continues along Threadneedle Street to Bishopsgate (and the corner of Liverpool Street station) before finishing at the east end of the City at Shoreditch High Street. What is particularly interesting about this 10 minute journey is the sheer amount of building work going - particularly at the eastern end of the City. New shiny towers are being built where old building once stood. There may be a 'credit crunch' but the amount of financial trade that continues to head London's way is not denting the desire of banks and financial institutions to build here. The City's Griffin (a boundary marker at every main road entrance to the City) is all but lost amongst the builder's fencing as we leave. The building works also explain the rather jarring effects from the state of the roads in the City! This episode is in high definition but the bitrate, at 1500kbps, is half the normal bitrate for LLTV episodes so there are some compression 'artifacts' present during the journey.

Im from NYC and I love NY. With That said I have to admit that London is Just Unique. London is about elegance, style, education, culture and money. For me, London is the most cosmopolitan city in Europe. If you go to wall street you'll see a lot of bankers dressing with cheap suits, but if you go to the Citi You'll see pure james bond elegance.

London is very very nice metropoly with friendly spirit... Greetz from Serbia. Salute!

@midnightmilo Okay is that the reason. I didn't say because of lack of money, but that there were less skycrapers in London compare to the other large cities in the world! I know Manhattan is much smaller than Central London so skycrapers are tightly packed, than London where everything is built spaced out.

@LAKOPUNJABI haha no worries i was only joking; but the lack of skyscrapers isn't because of a lack of money but because theres very strict planning requirements that don't allow for massive buildings that block out the light, also Manhattan is tiny so they have to build up - whereas in london they can spread out

@midnightmilo Lol no i'm not mad ahaha. I actually <3 London!
