The Buildings in London

London is a very old city.

So naturally, most of the buildings there look as old as anything.

Yet I'm always amazed at some things at London and it's not just how the cars there can have the most ridiculous number plates ever
but how the buildings look ancient from the outside like this


or this
but on the inside they look... rather different.

Take for example the hotel I stayed in when I was there.

On the outside, it looked old and lacking a fresh coat of paint like this.

But on the inside it looked like this.
That's right... no spider webs, no footprints on the wall
No leaking ceiling or anything.

Quite the opposite of the buildings in Malaysia which tend to look nice on the outside but look like prisons on the inside.

True true. Not only buildings. Everything. Just like white wall. Pure on outside but nothing inside

Maybe it's just me but I don't think those buildings in the pics look older than the old buildings in Penang. I've never been to London so I can't really tell ^^;

Wow that licence plate nr really IS freaky 0_0

Almost all of europe is filled with old stuff, so I don't really notice the difference.. All those walls and gates around the houses and iron bars in the windows that they have in M'sia, THAT is what I would call weird :) That, and the gecko's crawling over the walls indoor :/
