My London Experience in Pictures

It was, for the first time in my longest distance travel in life, I flew to London of the United Kingdom. From Phnom Penh airport, formerly Pochentong airport, I took a flight to Bangkok, and transited at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, and then reached Heathrow airport of London. For the first time to fly, I traveled to one of the greatest cities. Months later I still feel it was a dream, an unforgetable unique travel experience I ever had. I stayed four nights in the city, just two weeks before the new year eve.

Some selective photo I shot in London in December 2005 with my SRL Nikon F75.

One late afternoon at the Buckingham Palace.

Reuters world headquarter building–on my way to the day-long conference.

At the conference, Enthan Zuckerman, co-founder of Global Voices Online, talking with American participant, Jordan from Poland.

Jane Perrone of English newspaper Guardian Unlimited speaking.

A Chinese man with his laptop on his lap. And in behind, Robert Scoble, famous Microsoft geek. He also co-authored a recently published book ‘Naked Conversations’.

At Reuters world headquarter–the Reuters badge next to its building.

Paddington station in the background, London bus, and the man walking–an Arsenal fan. It is in front of Hilton Hotel–where I stayed.

A view of the river Thames. Walking on the Millennium Bridge, the first new bridge across the river in London since Tower Bridge opened in 1894, to the Tate Modern art gallery on Bankside.

Trees in Kensington Park.

Arsenal vs. Chealsea. And almost everything, including the food, is very expensive.

An evening at Picadilly Circus.

Almost everywhere in the Reuters building: News.
