Wandering Around London
We couldn't have asked for better weather...untypically London...sunny! I'm not going to go into depth on each place visited. You can get all the info off the websites in my previous article, primarily Visit London Tourism. It was time for 3 days of "power-touring":
If you are going to tour London, I highly recommended getting a London Pass, which will get you discounts to many top London attractions.
The Tower of London; The Clink View image (I personally like the London Dungeon better); Winston Churchill's War Rooms (his command center during World War II); Changing of the Guard (you can see on alternate days only); Westminster Cathedral; Big Ben; West End; walked across Tower Bridge; along the Thames Embankment; The Imperial War Museum (one of the few places in London that was free); and a few others that I will tell a little more about. All of these sites were picked by our adult children who were accompanying us.
We also made the "must" visits to Harrods and Hamleys. A word about Hamleys...years before Toys "R" Us was conceived...there was Hamleys. A five-floor store, filled with nothing but toys, on Regent Street. I remember taking my young sons there in the mid-70's and being blown away by the array of toys. And it is still a beautiful, amazing place to visit.
