London

Less type, more photos...

We discovered walking tours with a local guide, we ended up doing 3 different ones around London. The first was around Westminster, the second around Old City and the third was the Grim Reaper Tour where the victims of Jack The Ripper died and we also visited the docks where the first fleet sailed from...

Buckingham Palace


Changing of the Guard, thousands of people watching, roads closed, marching bands, hundreds of guards and after an hour, the only two guards standing at the palace doors have changed!


Just before we got yelled at for standing in the path of the Queens guard


Playing around with the camera features at Westminster Abbey


Mummies at the British Museum, we had a lot of grosser one to choose from..


Outside the Royal Courts of Justice. The pillar and statue is where Westminster meets Old City.
The clock was used in the Harry Potter movies at Hogwarts.
Papparazzi hang out here when high profile divorces take place inside - Madonna and Paul McCartney are all we can remember


Tower Bridge, often mistaken for London Bridge


St Katherine's Docks. The original location (the original timber docks are long gone) the first fleet left from in 1777


Culture vultures to the max... We saw Shakespeare's 'Henry VIII' play at the reconstructed 'Globe Theatre'. We had cheap standing only tickets but literally had our elbows on the stage. I couldn't understand what they were really saying but followed the story ok. "Best play I've ever been to" said Dom when we were leaving.. It was pretty impressive.
