We arrived in London, England, at 7:45 am London Time. It took us until 9:45 am to get through passport control. After we picked up our baggage it took us about 1 minute to go through customs.
Then another hour until we arrived at our hotel. We checked in and got ready for our first day in the United Kingdom.
Our hotel is right across the Thames from the Parliament buildings, so we walked pass them and up to Westminster Abbey. We took the self guided tour and saw a large number of graves, most of them in the floor. There were also coffins for many of the Kings, etc.
Next we continued our walk up the hill, stopping at the Household Calvary / Horse Guard, a few photos of 10 Downing street, then on to Trafalgar Square and Lord Nelson's column. From here we walked down Charning Cross and crossed the Thames on the Centennial Bridge and pass the new London Eye.
We are taking a break at our hotel and will head out on 'A Taste of London' tour through the tour company we are using for this trip.
The Wayward Traveler and his weary companions.
