London was a blast! Here's what my SO and I saw:
Slimelight!
Big Bus Company Tour - double decker buses all around downtown London.
Big Bus Company Boat tour of the Thames
Westminster Abbey
St. Margaret's Church
Westminster Palace (where the house of parliament are)
- Sat in for sessions in the House of Commons and House of Lords, both houses were debating sending more troops to Afganistan.
Buckingham Palace
Green Park
Tower of London
Tower Bridge
Tate Modern
St. Paul's Cathedral
Millenium Bridge
British Museum
National Gallery
Harrods
Victoria & Albert Museum
Natural History Museum
Kensington Gardens / Hyde Park / Princess Diana Memorial
British Library Museum (ancient texts and letters)
Temple Church (Outside only, was closed when we went grrr)
Platform nine and three quarters at King's Cross Station!!!!!!
Walked Around: Parliament & Whitehall Streets including Downing Street (well as much as you can see anyway), Picadilly Circus, Covent Gardens, Leicester Square, Trafalger Square, Camden Town, Soho, Chinatown, Kensington, etc etc. We also walked along the south side of the Thames and went into the markets there.
Outside London:
Windsor Castle
Stonehenge
Bath (where the hot springs and roman baths are)
Greenwich & the Royal Observatory (where the Prime Meridian is... i.e. 0 degrees longitude)
We had such a great time :D
Thanks to all for the birthdayt wishes while I was away :)
I'll be slowly catching up with the flist this week. What'd I miss?
