London, England

I spent the latter part of November and early December in London. Here are some of the photos from my visit.

Of course I saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. This photo is of one of the royal carriages arriving at the palace during the ceremony, which occurs every other day at around 10:30am during the winter months (instead of every day as it does in the warmer months).

During the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth left on an errand.

Royal flag atop Buckingham Palace. That's a film crew recording the changing of the guard.

This is the Natural Science Museum in London.

Another view of the Natural Science Museum.

Here's a close-up of Big Ben. I photoshopped out the security camera that is mounted on the tower in the foreground.

The Houses of Parliament are on the right, Big Ben is in the tower, and the Millenium Eye is in the distance.

You know you are in England when...

Westminster Abbey.

Harrods, or as it is sometimes referred to by the locals: "Horrids".

This is a view looking eastward down the Thames. The Millenium Eye is on the south side of the river and off in the distance, tied up to the north bank next to the first bridge, is the HMS Cutty Sark.

This guy "Churchill" was apparently someone of note to the English.

A little restaurant called "Bumbles".

Piccadilly Circus.

The ubiquitous London cab.
