On Saturday Jen and I went down to the Southbank district, which is on the other side of the Thames from where we are staying. It has a completely different look than most of London - all mid-century modern, large steel and concrete buildings, some of which reminded me of John Portman's buildings in downtown Atlanta. The area has lots of modern art museums and gallerys. We went to the Hayward Gallery and saw a really cool exhibit called Psycho-Buildings, in which cutting edge artists created temporary living spaces and related sculptures. Afterwards, we came outside and saw all these Brits on BMXs and skatboards tearing up this graffiti wall/skate park. Jen took many more photos, which can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/genesse/
