Tourist London

---

Bring plenty of British Pounds. So much to see and do in London, we'll have to come back! We had great fish & chips at St. Georges' Tavern near the Victoria train station.

Saw Big Ben, London Eye-went for a ride, Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Trafalger Square, Buckingham Palace, Changing of the Guard, The Royal Mews, St. Paul's Cathedral and the final flight of the Concorde just to name a few.

We are visiting London and England again in April 2005.

The London Eye
Hardcore Londoners call it the London Eye Sore; we think its quite nice really.

The White Tower
It was on the grounds of the Tower of London that Anne Boleyn, second wife of King Henry VIII was falsely convicted of adultery and beheaded on May 19, 1536. Many others were murdered or executed here, either on Tower Green or, outside the castle, in public on Tower Hill.

13th Century Watergate
Its nickname, Traitors' Gate, derives from the prisoners brought through it to the Tower, which was long used as a state prison.
