Throughout our tours I had already gotten used to London as being beautiful with old fashioned looking buildings. So I wasn't used to down-town London being so modern! I think it's such a pity that a lot of buildings and houses got wiped out during the Blitz. That picture of St. Paul's Cathedral after the Blitz is truly miraculous!
