County Hall is a building in the district of Lambeth, London that was the headquarters of London County Council (LCC) and later the Greater London Council (GLC). The building is on the South Bank of the River Thames. It is a Grade II* listed building.
Now it is no longer a civic building, it has become home to several businesses and attractions, including the London Aquarium.
N.B. despite living in Kent, and being in and out of London most of my life, in 2009 we decided to do a 'Big Red Bus' (open-topped double-decker) tour of London. It seemed expensive, but from the top of that bus, we saw things that we've always missed before. The tour was helped by the fantastic tour guide, who was born, and lived his entire life within the sound of Bow Bells. So sorry that some of these pictures are not up to standard, but not only were they taken on a very old (by digital technology standards) camera, but they were taken from the top of a moving bus!
If you are a stranger in London, or even if you aren't, may I recommend the Big Bus Tours. Yes, they're not cheap, but you can hop on and off at any of their stops, and see lots of things you might have missed, and great views of just how wonderful and interesting the City of London really is.
