London at Night

On Sunday night, we went to London for Christmas Praise 2008. It was a very wet day, so we didn't get there early and walk around too much. We just got there in time to walk around Covent Garden a little bit and get something to eat before the concert. (Covent Garden was nice and seemed like a great place to go shopping!) The concert was a short walk from the tube station. We sat pretty high up in the balcony of the very nice old Westminster Hall which is located right next to Westminster Abbey. The concert was nice and very Christmasy. There were some Christmas carols sung by a classical soloist, and we sang along on some parts, and then there were some worship songs led by Stuart Townend. The choir was all dressed in red and black and white who came out after the intermission all covered in sparkly garland and funny Christmas hats. On our way to and from the concert we passed the famous Big Ben Tower and the Houses of Parliament where we took this picture. It was a typical moody, misty and wet night in London.
