The London Eye can be seen from all over London and I decided the lovely spring weather was perfect to see the views from this famous wheel. A fast track ticket zoomed me past the large queue of otherLæs mere

Two short train rides from London and you can be in Windsor. I arrived just in time for the changing of the guards and it was much easier to see than at Buckingham Palace. A short walk up the hill andLæs mere

This was one of my favourite places to visit in London. I had not realised it was so big and I ended up spending several hours exploring this landmark. I joined a talk by one of the Yeoman Wardens. ItLæs mere

Grant & I joined a tour when we visited many years ago - it's well worth doing & as you've said, there's lots to see & learn about its history! 😃 I Loved seeing the Crown 👑 Jewels up close too!!!

This beautiful old Bridge was surprisingly interesting to visit and not just look at. I took a tour which meant you could walk across the top walkways, enjoy the view and take the classic glass floorLæs mere
We did the tour of Tower Bridge back in 1991 and thoroughly enjoyed it. As you say, there is so much to see and is most interesting.

I'm visiting the area around Westminster this morning. There are some very somber reminders of the things that are happening in the world right now. I loved the letter from one Londoner who wrote withLæs mere

I decided to visit the modern art museum The Tate even though I am not the biggest fan of modern art. The building the museum is in is another repurposed one as it used to be an electricity plant. ILæs mere

Having well and truly mastered the underground by now I went a little further afield to the Camden Markets (as recommended by Nat!). The area was definitely a little grittier than Central London.Læs mere

The London Pass I bought included the use of a hop on/off river cruise on the Thames. I decided to use it instead of the underground to get to the Tower Bridge. It was better than I expected with theLæs mere

I recognise the Cutty Sark sitting proudly in her dry berth at Greenwich... I went on board to explore - but that was 'many moons ago' on a school trip to London! 😜
