"London, UK" London by jamiesno


London Travel Guide: 26,558 reviews and 43,852 photos

I had the opportunity to visit London in February en route to Spain. Because of the protest in the city center regarding the potential war in Iraq I was diverted to Windsor Castle. It turned out to be a real treat. The queen was actually in that day and it was pleasant strolling around the castle.

To be correct while it is a short distance from London the Windsor Castle is actually located in Windsor.

Please be sure to rate my tips and leave your comments :-) !!

Guards

It is kinda neat getting to see all the gaurds roaming the castle. I think it is fair they say they are more for show I guess these days.

He didn't move while I took this snap. I am not sure if that is good etiquitte or not?

The Thames

The Thames is a great river, in my location in this picture just down the road from the Windor Castle, enroute to Eton College there were a lot of Swans in the river which was neat and they are all owned by the Queen apparently!

Here are some sites all for the Thames!

The Thames II
The Thames III

    Good page Jamie - pity about the protest & yes you're right - The Queen owns all swans in the UK - but don't tell the swans they too think they're free!!

    Cats in the pub at lunchtime? Might be a little crunchy.

    I enjoyed reading your page. I did not have time to go to Windsor Castle when I was in London.

    Fine if you like cats like me but not a lot of people like them around whilst eating

    Liked your Windsor Castle tips as 'Heathrow layover' idea! Will try to keep in mind next time I'm London-bound.
