"You are more beautiful than you think": London

Busy streets
People everywhere
Hustling and bustling as they rush by.
Wait!
Let's slow down and look around
What can we see?

Aren't you glad you stopped?
Isn't this fun?

Where can it be?
Here's a clue in the name of a street,
but you'll need a mirror!

"You're beautiful from every angle"
Oops!
They didn't tell me it was a deforming mirror!
The caption is very misleading...

See, I did warn you, but you had to try it for yourself, didn't you?

and it's all in the smile!

That red double-decker certainly looks good

especially with a touch of overhanging green.

Here's the whole picture
Are you enjoying yourself?
I like the reflection of the girl on the left, you can tell she's 
feeling beautiful.
Did you know that smiling increases your beauty by 100%?

Here's the store with the window display

Here's another clue

with elegance from another era...

A must-stop on every visit to London!

"When was the last time you smiled back?"
Try it
and the world will smile back at you!

  1. So true - almost everyone responses well to a smile - and we can't help smiling when we're in London! don't you just LOVE Selfridges - I didn't make it to London last time as I was in the country so I'm SO enjoying tagging along on your travels!

  3. I spy Sandra! What fun -- I love these reflections, especially the one with the double decker bus. The buildings themselves are beautiful, of course. The clock with the angel is a visual treat. How great to have smile campaign -- It looks like London is working on creating a happier city. Is it working?

  6. I often go around with a smile on my face . . . people probably think I'm "simple" but I don't mind! Thanks for the unusual view of London.

    Happy Friday to you.

  16. Ooooo, I was there a little while ago, I LOVE Selfridges! I've just read your two posts on your London trip and all I kept saying was 'we stood there!', 'we did that', 'we need to get back in the next couple of weeks'. It looks as though you had a lot brighter day than we did though. Glad you have enjoyed my home town xx
