Pictures from London

Bob with all of our luggage at the Paddington Station. We only had two checked pieces, 2 backpacks and 2 carry-ons. I thought that was pretty good.


We loved the Covent Garden area because it was near the theatres and there were many choices of restaurants.




At the National Museum we saw the Rosetta Stone and pieces from the Parthanon in Greece.



Somerset House - mostly for the arts now and kids having fun in the water.



221 Baker Street and Sherlock Holmes



Parliament and Big Ben





Pall Mall Avenue and gates that lead directly to Buckingham Palace. The Queen is the only one who uses the center gate (according to our tour guide).





Changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace





And at Clarence House which is now where Prince Charles lives.


Tower Bridge across the Thames.





The Tower of London





St. Paul's Cathedral


We thought this an interesting structure to live in.


We saw Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre which according to our information the theatre was built in 1834.



Hampton Court and the Gardens
