@frame.travel: London hits different when autumn walks in, but this spot holds a secret most people walk right past! 🍂✨ Meet Cleopatra’s Needle on the Victoria Embankment, an actual 3,500 year-old Ancient Egyptian obelisk standing right by the Thames! 🏛️🇬🇧 Fun fact: The builders actually placed the sphinxes facing inward toward the needle instead of outward to guard against danger, a total architectural design flaw! 😅 Plus, if you look closely at the base, you can still see shrapnel scars from a WWI bomb raid back in 1917. 💥📜 Drop a 🍂 in the comments if you’d add this hidden gem to your London autumn bucket list! #london #londonlife #visitlondon #travel #fyp
