When you were gifted with the name Victoria by your parents and you pop into London, the one place that you have to go to is the magnificent Victoria and Albert museum in South Kensington.
Apart from the wonderful treasures that the museum holds and the exhibitions that are regularly featured, it also hosts stunning architecture and features, not least, some truly unique doors.
A few small examples from today’s visit…
The main entrance, the Victorians certainly went for grandeur….
Looking up, such a sight….
Across the central courtyard, I spied an extremely interesting door….
And behind me a Victorian facade….
Close up to the interesting door, having smiled very nicely to remove the door standers, I got a clear shot…
And the open door from the inside, upper half…
Lower half, nothing was done by half here….
A few items in the Museum’s eclectic collection that caught my eye…
Linking with Thursday doors…
Travels in the Middle East and beyond 
Very ornate architecture.

I know! Whenever we were in London -always pressed for time – one needs to have a few weeks to get a good idea of the city! Have fun and coming back with lots of photos:)

Fantastic! I didn’t get to the V&A on my visits. Next time! What wonderful doors, windows, and architecture — quite apart from the collections inside! Thanks for the visit, Vicky.
