London, England - 12th May 2008

By: iddewes

Well, here's some more from Veggies...:)
It took a few days before we could go out...it was probably actually a bit sooner than what I've put on here but I can't remember exactly! :) The weather wasn't very good for a while and then also I was working. I did take her along to work one day...here's a photo of one of the buildings that belongs to the University where I work...http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/tablaqueen/CNV00001.jpg
This is the Islington Library nearby, a good example of Victorian architecture in the area (a bit different than the rather modern University building!)

Then that evening we took a trip on the London Underground! Here is Veggies inside the train...I'm surprised it wasn't very full!

And inside Covent Garden Station...

Covent Garden is an indoor market, with shops and nice artsy stalls, where you can often find nice gifts.

We also went down from there to a very busy road called The Strand, on the way to Trafalgar Square, one of the most famous places in London! :)
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/tablaqueen/CNV00007.jpg here you can see one of the typical London black taxi cabs and the red double decker bus :)
Here's Trafalgar Square, the high up statue of Admiral Lord Nelson, who won the battle of Trafalgar.

And here's another view of Trafalgar Square

This is the National Gallery...
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/tablaqueen/CNV00010.jpg
And the famous church, St Martin in the Fields, which has just been cleaned so it looks lovely! :)

On another day, we went to visit Tower Hill, where the Tower of London is. I didn't really have the money to go into the Tower of London, it's really expensive nowadays :( but we had a look around the outside. Here's Veggies on the best seat in a double decker bus going down there. (although this is just somewhere in Hackney, on the way :))

And here's a view of the Tower...

this is a bit farther down...you can see the famous building called the Gherkin in the background too (called that because it looks like a giant cucumber!)
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/tablaqueen/CNV00024.jpg
Here's Tower Bridge, too...it's also very famous and has a museum inside it!
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/tablaqueen/CNV00019.jpg
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/tablaqueen/CNV00023.jpg
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/tablaqueen/CNV00018.jpg
Then we went on a boat to Westminster! There will be more photos of that later...well Westminster and Waterloo, anyway, but here's a couple from the boat.

This is the London Eye
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/tablaqueen/CNV00027.jpg
We also visited Stoke Newington, which is very near where I live. There's a really old church there called St Mary's. It's so old that they built a replacement church, which is across the road from this one, and they don't use this one much now. But it looks nice anyway!
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/tablaqueen/CNV00014.jpg
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/tablaqueen/CNV00015.jpg the sign over the door says 1563!
Here's the old churchyard too.

Well, like I said there will be a few more photos coming, but I haven't finished the film on that camera yet...
