Buckingham Palace: Mr. Bush Visit
  • Tip Rating:
  • We woke up early to have a chance to see famous changing guards in buckingham palace, but we didn't believe what we saw. It was Queen Elizabeth II and George Bush checking guard of honors. Wow, we were excited. Of course, it's not up close, it was about 100 metres away. We were also interviewed by BBC newsreporter! Security was all over. Heard that they spent 5 million pound for this visit. All from taxpayers of Londonites.

    Palace of Westminster ("Houses of Parliament"): House of Parliament from London Eye
  • Tip Rating:
  • A ride on British Airways' London Eye is a must. We were lucky that we did not have to wait to line up. We just jumped in right after we bought the tickets. I heard that people sometimes wait for half a day for the queue. And, it is magnificient. You will see River Thames, House of Parliament and a bit of Buckingham Palace from the top. It's gorgeous at night as the pic.

    St James's and The Mall: St. James' Park
  • Tip Rating:
  • During the walk from Buckingham Palace to Parliament, we walked pass St. James' Park. It's a very nice park with many giant dugs and birds.

    It's nicer when trees turn colorful during spring.

    River Thames: River Thames from St. Paul
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you are young at heart (and...body) to climb up 400 steps to the top of St.Paul Cathederal (sorry, no elevator allowed for visitors), you will see a great view of city of London, including River Thames. This picture spans across Wesminster area, and has a glimpse on British Airways' London Eye. I have to say it's worth all the pain....and the pennies.
