A series of aerial views of London.

Let’s start with Shakespeare’s GLOBE theatre, which was reconstructed in 1997 . It is located approximately 750 feet (230 m) from the site of the original theatre.

And now let’s take a look at Piccadilly Circus, a road junction and public space of London‘s West End in the City of Westminster, built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with the major shopping street of Piccadilly. (photo courtesy of http://www.londonita.com/londrablog/)

We cannot forget Trafalgar Square, which commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars over France which took place on 21 October 1805 off the coast of Cape Trafalgar in Los Canos de Meca, a town in the municipality of Vejer de la Frontera, near Cadiz, Spain.
