I love London

There were many wonderful sights in central London today.

I viewed Trafalgar Square from the air!

Well . . . at least I saw this cool model in the National Gallery. It shows how Trafalgar Square used to look in olden times before London Mayor Ken Livingstone pedestrianised the north terrace and built the new central stone staircase.




I had a front row view for Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace. It's always worth watching. Huzzah for British pageantry and tradition!




I even got to see the tube (London Underground) as it should always be - empty and shiny bright. If only it looked like this more often, instead of cluttered with people, their luggage, and the ever-present discarded free newspapers.




I love London!
