Sat at my desk, working away and as I look up I see a stunning sight. A sight that had me literally throwing off my reading glasses and running across the room with camera to catch it before it vanished.
Amazingly, it actually lasted a good couple of minutes and got stronger in intensity as time went on.
I’ll let the photos tell the rest – you may make your own inferences about the City, Banks and Pots of Gold.

Notice the double reversed rainbow here – known as Alexander’s Band
Incredibly, about an hour later a second rainbow appeared – this time with both an Alexander Band and a strong reflection in the River Thames
SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
Thank you
Gorgeous photos. A rainbow really does feel like the promise of hope…
Lovely shots, can’t see them from my corner of London though.
@Maggie Bob – true about the hope thing. I just found out from Tweet Cloud that one of my two most used words during a year and a month of tweeting are hope. The other is time. Not sure what that means though.
R!
Snap!
After reading your post, I looked up and saw something similar, with a huge, all-encompassing rainbow over Scotland Yard, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the London Eye 🙂
