Westminster Abbey; the coronation and burial site of the British monarchs. This is also another case




This stall is selling blueberries for only £1. That s the cheapest I ve seen during my time in London. And I think the packaging is larger than the one I bought the day before. The avocados are cheap too. Like 5 for £1???
Gotta say I m a little disappointed at Borough Market which I ve been looking forward to visit for a long time. It s not as big as I expected u2 vertigo tour dates and the fresh produce is quite limited. For me, Queen Victoria Market at Melbourne is the market that rocks my world . Hahaha
You know? I grow up mistaking Tower Bridge as London Bridge? I think many people did too. I think it had got to do with the game cum song London u2 vertigo tour dates Bridge is falling u2 vertigo tour dates down, falling down . . Thankfully I realized it during my late teens. Hahaha
Shakespeare s Globe another place I long to visit but only get to see it from outside *#$^)@. u2 vertigo tour dates My sis refused to watch Shakespeare play here stating that they re not original!?! Hahaha I m not sure what she meant by that. Perhaps she mean the building which is the replica of the original Globe Theatre (which Shakespeare belonged). So we give it a miss. I ll be back next time!
I enjoyed the pleasure of walking along River Thames while sipping my coffee. Kekeke The weather is nice and the sky is so blue! The bridge in front is the fame Millennium Bridge, a walking pedestrian bridge. But we re not crossing there yet.
Coz we re going to Tate Modern, an art gallery showcasing modern and contemporary art from 1900 to the present day. The building is not much of an art but wait till you see inside. Btw admission is free!
I actually wanted to visit St Paul in the evening for the evensong coz admission will be free. Unfortunately we decided to make some changes to our itinerary u2 vertigo tour dates so it s St Paul in the afternoon. Another I ll be back next time more reason to visit London again (which I dunno when now so pokai!) Hahaha
So here s a tip, if you re too cheapskate like me to pay nearly £15 for admission u2 vertigo tour dates to St. Paul Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, go for the evensong in the evening where you get to go in for free but of course you have to stay there for about an hour to listen to the hymn and song which is not a bad thing actually coz I heard they re really nice.
Routemaster Heritage Bus Route 15 a one of a kind traditional London u2 vertigo tour dates bus. Only 2 types of routemaster exist today; route 15 bus and route 9 bus. These buses being old and antique has not air-conditioned and you enter and exit the bus by the rear.
Heritage u2 vertigo tour dates route 15 bus take on this route: Trafalgar Square — Strand — Aldwych — Fleet Street — Cannon Street — Monument — Tower Hill while route 9 bus take on this route: Olympia-Warwick Gardens High Street Kensington Royal Albert Hall — Hyde Park Corner — Piccadilly Circus — Trafalgar u2 vertigo tour dates Square. Do try em when in London.
After bumping u2 vertigo tour dates into the heritage bus, we found another treasure! It s a shop that sell toffee, traditional sweets and confectionery by the name of Hardys Original Sweet Shop . What else? We paid em a visit. u2 vertigo tour dates Then we walked to Blackfriars and took a tube to Westminster stop.
Palace of Westminster aka House of Parliament and Big Ben taken at Westminster Bridge. Love the building. If you go near it, you can appreciate it even more; the art and shades of the bricks/tiles that make up this magnificent building.
Westminster Abbey; the coronation and burial site of the British monarchs. This is also another case which I never knew Westminster Abbey has the north entrance! It s so so beautiful. It s the church where Queen Elizabeth married and coronated, the church which Princess Diana s funeral was held and also the place his son, Prince William married Catherine Middleton.
Then we walked for 10 minutes to Horse Guards Road. On one side is this St James Park. And on the other side is government u2 vertigo tour dates buildings and also a large courtyard called Horse Guards Parade. u2 vertigo tour dates There are a couple of park I wanted to visit in London and St James Park is one of them but unfortunately we have no time for it. I didn t even get to visit any park and market in Paris. Double boo hoo. I ll show you later the park of our final choice.
So the reason we came here is because we wanted u2 vertigo tour dates to have a look at the troops/guards on duty. Gotta say it s hard work being a troop/guard because besides basking in the sun you need to pose for the camera. Hehe
We spent the rest of our evening here at National Gallery, an art museum until closing time. Admission is free of charge. Even at closing time we didn t have enough time to visit the shop there (souvenir is a must!).
After visiting museums (no matter art or artifacts) at Paris, Vatican City and London my most favorite museum is the National Gallery. Oh yeah baby! And my favorites are Monet s and Van Gogh s paintings. Their work especially the hand stroke is just WOW! Better than Mona Lisa s painting man. Too bad photography is not allowed so you re gonna have to come visit National Gallery yourself. Truthfully Louvre is over-rated and National Gallery is under-rated. How many will say I m gonna visit National Gallery when I go to London? Few right? But many will say I m gonna visit the Louvre when I go to Paris? No? I know I m right. Hahaha
After coming out of National Gallery, we walked u2 vertigo tour dates back to our hostel. On the way we stopped at Marks and Spencer u2 vertigo tour dates which is just 2 minutes from our hostel. Our aim is to buy breakfast for tomorrow and tonight s dinner. But we did not make dinner from our M S loot immediately. We rested then went to H M shopping!!! Aiy saw that the clothes are the same one in Paris but nevertheless we still shop. Kekeke Then it s back to dinner, bath, confirm plan for tomorrow and sleep.
Wow, wow, wow!!!! Love St Paul Cathedral .so grand the St Paul Catheral here is mouse size! And Westminster Abbey .ahhhh London, my dream to go. Hahaha I didn t even know the Tower Bridge is not London Bridge! LOL I learned something this morning!
