LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM

Stacia Yearwood | | Galleries | No Comments

Taking advantage of the few summer days of sunshine! 🙂

Big Ben. The clock tower itself isn't called Big Ben but the bell it houses. Aptly named after a member of parliament who was rumored to be about 200 stone.

The Tower Bridge.

There were oodles of bridges and the one we all think is London Bridge, isn't! LOL!

Getting out of the "tube." :)

Admiralty/Wellington Arch is a large office building in London which incorporates an archway providing road and pedestrian access between The Mall, which extends to the South-West, and Trafalgar Square to the North-East.

Statue of Florence Nightingale on the Pal Mal.

Double decker bus and telephone booth. Quintessential London.

Trafalgar Square

Little toy soldiers! :)

I was lucky enough to witness the Changing of the Guard! What a rare treat! ;)

The Changing of the Guard ceremony.

The backpacking life: wash clothes; dry overnight; wear again. ;)

The gang at the the 93 Feet East Pub. Good times! :)

At the Meridian.

It's a classic photo opportunity: have your photo taken standing on the Prime Meridian Line at Greenwich. Head for The Royal Observatory and in the courtyard is a metal strip where you stand over the line and can be in the the eastern and western hemispheres at the same time. Greenwich was chosen back in 1884 as the Prime Meridian of the world, Longitude Zero (0° 0' 0").

At the Meridian gardens.

Trying my legs on the wobbly bridge.

Excited to be on a double decker bus.

Had to try the Fish n' Chips!

The Anchor, the oldest pub in London.

In front of the Tate Modern Museum.

The London Eye.

Inside a London Eye capsule.

Sunset from the London Eye.

Leaving the white hills of Dover to head to Calais, France! London, you were sweet! :)
