Early in the morning we met at the train station in Eastbourne. The
target of our journey was England's capital city - London.
London is the third largest city of Europe. It's known for its numerous tourist attractions such as Big Ben, Buckhingham Palace or Westminster Abbey.
We started our sightseeing tour at Victoria train station. After a 10-minute walk, we were standing in front of Buckhingham Palace, - in congestion! The Queen's guards were presenting themselves in a parade, watched by thousands of tourists. With a delay of several minutes we then walked to Big Ben. The great bell of the clock next to the Houses of Parliament was a popular subject for memorable photos.
Via a short walk onto Westminster Bridge and a view on the river Thames we walked to Trafalgar Square. The statue of Admiral Nelson was the final stop of our short sightseeing tour in London. The planned 15 sights to watch in London were reduced by the long waiting time at Buckingham Palace.
Trafalgar Square did not only mark the end of our sightseeing tour but also the start of our free time in London; - free time to visit more sights, go shopping or go somewhere to sleep, as the organiser of our trip did. :) I enjoyed the free time shopping in the famous Oxford and Regent's streets.
