First foray into London

Parliament (I considered getting someone to take my photo with this is the background, but I decided against it)

That small black door is where the Prime Minister lives.

Police Memorial I thought was nice.

Intricate gates around Buckingham Palace.




I went into London for the first time yesterday. I hit up the must-see's including Buckingham Palace (the queen was in), the Westminster Bridge, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, Big Ben, and I ate lunch in the upstairs (called the Opera Room) of a pub, which was really really nice. They also had one of my favorite beers on tap..

Didn't see any riots but I did see many police vans all with sirens on heading in the same direction...

My friend James comes back into town tonight so I think that on Monday I'm going to head over and spend at least a couple of days with him so I don't have to take the train every day (it's a pretty long train ride).
