London: Day 3

Day 3. We started the day with mass at a lovely little old church. Later, high tea at the Savoy. Biked around Hyde Park with my lovely new Cath Kidston tote in tow, and saw Kensington Palace and the Princess Diana memorials. The Eye had the best view of London. On our way, we walked past Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the Houses of Parliament. That night, we walked around Piccadilly Circus. After all that walking, I had to pop into the chemist for a box of plasters... Pip, pip!

 

Tea, scones, clotted cream and jam ... heavenly!

 

You can rent a bike for any length of time ... it's a great way to see the city. Just remember to ride on the left!

 

Fabulous views from the top of the London Eye

 

I was surprised how close the major sites were to each other.

 

Maybe I should consider a paint job for my Mini?

London: a travel blog

Spent last week in London! Will be revisiting some of my favorite moments thru pictures over the next few days. Come travel with me...

Day 1 (more like Day 1-1/2 because I didn't sleep on the flight over and we arrived in the am). London. Cruise on the River Thames, British Museum (I got chills when I saw the Rosetta Stone), the V&A Museum (I could have spent days in there) and dinner at Covent Garden.

Stumbled across a used prints and book sale


Tower Bridge


The artist in me appreciated this...


...and the type-nerd in me loved this! (The Rosetta Stone at The British Museum)


The V&A is a treasure trove of inspiration. And these are just the trays at the cafe! (love William Morris)

Had Pimms and a scone outside at the V&A
