English Doings: Lists et al

I've decided to list the places I've seen in London rather than write about all of them - I've got photos of them and this is easier than describing them all in detail! :) I spent about three days out of the time here being a tourist. So in summary:

Walk Number 1: 23rd of May 2007

• St James's Palace


• The Mall


• Buckingham Palace - where there was an audience going on so there were lots of ladies dressed in their best!


• St James's Park - where I stopped for a rest and took photos of a footbridge, a squirrel and a very picturesque caretakers cottage


• The Cabinet War Rooms - where Churchill hid during the war - and which had an extortionate entry price so I declined entry!


• Westminster Abby - which I must go back go regardless of the price - it's gorgeous!


• The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben


• No 10 Downing Street - viewed through a large number of Police


• The Banqueting Hall - the Last bit of the Tudor Whitehall Palace, which Bronwyn says I should go back to because it has a beautiful Ceiling.


• Trafalgar Square - which included:


• Admiralty Arch


• Nelson's Column


• The National Gallery


• The National Portrait Gallery, and


• St Martin-in-the-Fields

Walk Number 2: 25th of May 2007

• The Tower of London


• a Random Orchestra playing on the esplanade


• The Tower Bridge - which I always thought was London Bridge


• London Bridge - which was a disappointment


• The South Bank of London


• The 'Clink' Prison


• A Ruined Palace


• Shakespeare's Globe


• Tate Modern


• Millennium Bridge


• St Paul's Cathedral


• Fleet Street / The Strand and Oxford Road.

Walk Number 3: 30th of May 2007

• Harrods (totally amazing and totally overwhelming!)


• Victoria and Albert Museum


• Science Museum - which was overrun by ankle biters so I didn't stay long


• Kensington Gardens


• The Royal Albert Hall


• Albert's Memorial


• Kensington Palace


• Notting Hill Gate / Portobello Road

And that would be that!
