Day 16

London - Kensington Gardens - General sightseeing

View from our room at the Ramada Hotel Docklands looking towards London City Airport, looks noisy but with triple glazing we couldn't hear a thing.

Naval memorial, Tower Hill
The site of the Ancient Scaffold were at least 125 people were put to death by hanging.
The Royal Exchange building, it's amazing what you find when you get lost, we walked through the Central Markets, City of London, Dr Samuel Johnsons House.
The Strand
Finally caught up with Belinda and Maddison at Buckingham Palace.

Belinda talked the Guard into a photo, once other people saw him stop it was like bees to a honey pot, all the poor bloke wanted to do was get back to the barracks but he was very accommodating for us.

Helen, Belinda and Maddison looking out over "The Serpentine" following the Princess Diana walk through Hyde Park up to Kensington Gardens.
