Only 7 years separate these two AEC Reliances on Green Line services back in 1980
RP84 (JPA 184K) delivered in 1972, but (theoretically!) demoted to bus work is about to be passed by RB66 (YPL 66T). The Duple Dominant II bodied Reliance is representative of the belated attempt to upgrade the "Green Line" image
The location is Green Line's Victoria 'hub' - Eccleston Bridge
Also of interest is the remains of a Swan Vesta advert on the Lost Property Office wall in the background
Writ large... (1989)

D1102 started out as DM1102 in June 1975. It lasted in normal service until 1983, being converted to open-top at Aldenham.
By 1989, carrying the name "MV Royal Daffodil" , it had passed to Selkent as part of the charter operation at PD.
I believe this 1989 view is at Greenwich, next to the "Cutty Sark" - but I am open to correction
The Shard - there really is no escape!

Following on from previous post - this shot taken from Tower Bridge Approach shows how much taller The Shard is than anything around it - the only other buildings clearly visible above the foliage are the buildings of Guy's Hospital (Tower Wing)

I sense this is definitely a 'Marmite' building
An article in "The Guardian" newspaper on 14th Jan 2013 opened with .... The best thing about the view from the Shard?.....You can't see the Shard
It is a 95-storey skyscraper at London Bridge, on the site previously occupied by Southwark Towers, For more info see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shard
The Shard website ( the-shard.com ) says "The Shard is a timeless reminder of the power of imagination to inspire change" - others say carbuncle - I'll leave you to decide!
