Pictures of hotels and bridges in London

I work as a photographer and as part of my work I have to travel to different countries taking pictures of architecture. I was offered by my company the chance to travel to London to take pictures of bridges and hotels in this major city. I travelled from Australia and had to change flights at Frankfurt, as my connecting flight did not leave until the following morning I booked in to a wellness hotel called Hotel Feldberg Mecklenburg. The hotel was very pleasant and I enjoyed the relaxation of a spar during my overnight stay. The next day I travelled on to London.

There are many hotels in London and although I took pictures of many hotels, my best takes were of the following; The Knights Bridge Hotel – looked every part the traditional British Hotel with its grand pillars at either side of the door way, and its grand exterior, sporting the Union Jack. I felt this is what a tourist from abroad expects when visiting the United Kingdom. The next hotel after the Wellnesshotel Feldberg was the Covent Garden Hotel; although from the same chain of hotels as The Knights Bridge Hotel, completely different to look at, it looked more like a small quirky pub that you would find in the quieter part of London, but from my point of view, as a photographer it showed the contrast between different aspects of London. The inside of the hotel had a very homely feel to it.

I wanted to take some photo’s of Tower Bridge and was told the Hilton Tower Bridge Hotel was the ideal place to stay to get good views of the hotel lit up at night, I got the picture I wanted of the bridge lit up night. I also wanted to get a picture of the bridge during the day, I had picked a day when I knew that the bridges in the centre lift to let tall ships and navel vessels pass through. I also wanted to get a photo of a view from the bridge, as I knew that the high level walkways allowed for fantastic views of Canary Wharf, St Paul’s Cathedral and the London Eye.

After taking these photo’s I moved on to my final destination The Hilton on Park Lane, the location speaks for itself, although the exterior is not quite what I imagined, the inside lived up to the expectation of the location.
