Snapshots from London: Out and About

· ·

Over the past few weeks I’ve been sharing various snapshots from London, as there were just too many to show you all at once.

But believe it or not, I think I’ve come to the end of my photos from the English leg of our trip. So many photos, you would almost think we were there for weeks – instead of just five days!

Westminster
Just another couple of tourists hanging out in front of Big Ben

The following pics are of us out and about in London, sight seeing and having a good time. They didn’t seem to fit into any particular category so I’ve just lumped them all together here, to give you a complete London experience 🙂 .

Big Ben aka the Elizabeth Tower

Park in London
Stopping for a break in one of the many squares/parks. How green is the grass!

We just had to take a ride in a typical London cab …

  1. I think my favourite part of London was London Bridge and Buckingham Palace. It is such an interesting city with so much to do and see. We only had 3 days here so I think I will need to return one day. 🙂

  2. You’ve made me just a little bit homesick. I can smell the rain on tarmac and imagine that heavy cloud of grey, and Harrods lit up at Christmas. Loved your pics and thanks for a trip down memory lane.

    • I would love to see all the London landmarks at night … it didn’t get dark til 9.30 or 10pm when we were there so we only saw it during daylight hours!

  3. tower Bridge is one of my favourites. We usually stay near it and cross on our daily walks. Thanks for the memories.

    • It’s an amazing city and I’m so glad I’ve had a chance to check it out for myself – would love to visit again one day!
