"Gwynneth's London Memories" London by Gwynneth
London Travel Guide: 26,553 reviews and 43,839 photos
My first BIG trip... in fact, it was the first time I had stepped off Australian soil. I was 12 years old... and my father wanted to take my mother, brother, grandmother and me to see where he grew up and to meet the family we'd only ever heard about...
These memories have been packed away for a while... they're kinda cute... one day I'll have to go back and find some 'grown-up' ones. ENJOY!
- Pros:The shopping was fantastic at Harrods!
- Cons:Be prepared for the hustle and bustle of an awesomely huge city.
- In a nutshell:More than Wall Street and Suits!

Nice memories of childhood :) I hope that lion was not a souvenir you brought home with you in the camper? `-)
It's high time you came back to London ; ))
Liked the sepia thing and good to know the Queen recognized her subjects! Coming from Perth you'll know the importance of St.-Martin-in-the-Fields (not sure about the stand and the colomn though!)
Interesting tidbits...I take it you used to live in Townsville? Cheers from a former Townsville resident!
Love the monopoly analogy G! Gr8 recollections you've presented here with equally gr8 photos.
Interesting - and the sepia photography adds to the nostalgia.
Gwynneth- here's to making dreams come true- cheers!!
Fantastic pics, not enough of you though..
QANTAS - Quite A Nice Trip, Any Survivors? :)))
Oh yes, a Drawing Room seems to be a very special english expression ... :-)
