The palace was built in 1703, for the Duke of Buckingham. Queen Victoria declared that this castle should be the Royal residence. After the fire at Windsor castle the Queen has opened up parts of Buckingham palace to the public (in summer) in order to raise funds. As you may notice the flag in my pic is at half mast, this was in the week following th death of Princess Diana. Under normal circumstances when you see the flag flying you know that the Queen is home so look out for twitching curtains!

Trafalgar square is an excellent meeting point for weary tourists. The square commemorates the victory of Nelson near Trafalgar. There are many consulates in the area and the square has been popular as a place for demonstrations. Nelson's column is in the centre of the square surrounded by 4 lions and fountains. Other buildings close by are the National gallery, Canada House, South Africa House and St Martin in the Fields Church. There are often free classical music recitals in the church so you can just pop in for a break from the busy streets.

As far as I know the council has stopped the sale of bird seed in the square as the pigeons were getting out of hand but like anywhere in London you will still see these 'flying rats' as they are fondly known!

The closest my husband will come to Madonna's bum! This is the same as Madame Tussauds but the wax models are of Pop stars.

This lovely garden near the Orangerie at Kensington Palace is best seen in spring when the tulips are in bloom.
