Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski yesterday decided to share his whistle stop tour of London's famous sights with his 255,216 Twitter followers.

Podolski toured many of London's tourist attractions, taking in The London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge and finally Arsenal's former home, Highbury Stadium, which has now been turned into luxury apartments.

German international Podolski is not the first footballer to share his day out in London, Chelsea's Juan Mata shared his pictures of his tour of London with his Facebook followers shortly after joining the club in August 2011
