  • The Queen lives here sometimes! This is the place to see the changing of guards. Do check out the days when there's a ceremony. No ceremony on Saturdays.

    When the Queen is in residence, the flag will be up :)

    Things To Do: Green Park early morning...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Take a walk in one of the few parks early in the morning and see the world waking up.
    It is interesting to sit on a bench in one of the parks and people watch. Rest and relax!
    You will see people jogging, or strolling with their dogs. There are also many people walking pass the park who seems to be rushing off to work on weekdays.

    This picture was taken during the Queen Jubilee celebration. Not to worry, this will not be the usual sight in the park. In fact, this was my first time entering a littered park and was caught by surprise.

    St Pauls Cathedral: St Paul's Cathedral.
  • Tip Rating:
  • London St Pauls Cathedral
  • St. Paul's Cathedral.
  • by A2002

  • This is one of the largest cathedral in the world. One gotta pay to go in. And with the ticket, you can go up the many many stairs, up to the top to have a breathtaking view of London. It's worth going up on a clear, bright day. The climb up can get pretty tiring for the old folks though. Halfway to the very top, one can get a bird's eye view of the interiors of the cathedral. You can also have a rest and catch your breath here.

    There will be no charge to enter the cathedral for service. There are services throughout the day everyday. Do check out the time for their services at the cathedral. After the service, you will be free to "roam" around the inside of the cathedral, except for going up to the dome.

    At the Crypt lies the famous Duke of Wellington and Sir Nelson.

     I love to know what visitors think of London. It is such a shame your hotel experiences were so poor. Better luck next time! Have a wonderful time in Burma!

     Your HP collage of London perfectly captures the landmarks and colors that attract travellers to this magnetic place. Bravo!
