London Town

Slow start for our last day in London.  We were here for a week 10 years ago so we didn't need to do too much tourist stuff.  Drove to the Woking shopping centre, bought a new suitcase (all those extra raincoats we had to buy!!)  then got the train to London city centre.
Walked past Westminster Abbey again, no visits on Sunday so head to Trafalgar Square.  Reading the news this morning they estimate there were 1.5 million people in this area for the Pride Parade yesterday, thankfully not quite as crowded today.  Leisurely walk from there to Piccadilly Circus, spent a bit of time in souvenir shops then found a little pub (The Three Crowns) in one of the back streets and had a little drink and a late lazy lunch before heading for home.  Got home about 5 and packing suitcases was on the agenda.

Front door of Westminter Abbey

Crowds all gone from Trafalgar Square

Lots of people in Piccadilly Circus but still easy to get around

Lots of souvenir shops

 

Hundreds of statues in London, never ending!!

This is where they hold the Trooping of the Colour.

Due to the threat of terrorism there have been hundreds of streets lined with bollards.

They are very tastefully made and don't impinge on the landscape.

So good to find our train station so we can make our way home.
