Trafalgar Square

.

Got some great pics of Trafalgar square with Big Ben in the background at sunset.

Been there twice...2004 with Matisse and Picasso's Retrospective and then in 2011 with Ai WeiWei's Sunflower Seeds!

Modern art museum w some of the best exhibits.

Go early on Saturday - it gets really crowded!

Portobello Road Market

Didn't get a chance to go here the last time I was in London!

Near the old Smithfields meat market

this sounds great, I'm adding it to the list.. thank you!!

They also have a room filled with full-scale models of dozens of famous sculptures from around the world, Michelangelo's David, Trajan's Column in Rome, etc. Definitely worth checking out.

Not sure if I added the right V&A. The one I'm recommending is the V&A Museum in S. Kensington. Just rediscovered the place on my last trip back to London -- a temple to human creativity and ingenuity -- from giant, ancient religious sculpture to contemporary fashion and jewellery.

Visit in 1982...jewels were amazing!

1982 visit. The jewels were amazing.

So I'm a little bloodthirsty...

questo mi sembra un piano fantastico :D

quando è bel tempo è stupendo fare una passeggiata da Westminster, attraversare il Westminster Bridge (quindi arrivi davanti al London Eye) e costeggiare tutto il Tamigi fino ad arrivare alla Tate Modern, visitarla (dal settimo piano vedi un panorama stupendo) poi attraversare il Millennium Bridge quando è bel tempo è stupendo fare una passeggiata da Westminster, attraversare il Westminster Bridge (quindi arrivi davanti al London Eye) e costeggiare tutto il Tamigi fino ad arrivare alla Tate Modern, visitarla (dal settimo piano vedi un panorama stupendo) poi attraversare il Millennium Bridge ed arrivare fino alla St Paul's Cathedral.… see moresee less

Second largest dome in the world. Stay for communion. Eat lunch in the cafe downstairs.

St. Paul's Cathedral

Flying would be so lovely if we could all throw back a few here in the British Airways First Class Lounge before boarding, wouldn't it?

enjoyed the architecture and construction. Kids enjoyed doing the "rubbings". They still have them framed in their homes.

Lots of small spaces where famous people are remembered, then it opens to the large open space in the photo.

favorite part of my trip into westminster

Second largest dome in the world and downstairs is a wonderful spot for lunch.

Kensington Gardens

Kensington Gardens - I sat near an old guy who was feeding birds. He was wearing a hat and they kept jumping out of the hedge behind him to sit on his head and that hat never moved an inch LOL

One of my favorite places in the city.

LOVE the V & A! Going to hit it right away when I go this spring--really, really want to see the Cecil Beaton exhibit about the Queen! Great food in the restaurant as well as a lovely room in which to eat it by the way.

Buckingham Palace

Leaves you in awe!

Amazing to walk the rooms where the royals have/will.

Loads of royalty and nobility buried here.

Westminster Abbey

memories of lazy afternoons, rowing down the Serpentine, poetry and picnics...great days!

This is one of the most beautiful parts of London by far and where the whole city gathers to watch big events together on giant screens. A trip to London truly isn't complete without seeing it.

Places I want to go in the United Kingdom

i enjoyed it very much.

shop shop

Fun shops & street performers.

A and J have a picture of them in that platform. I wish the Port Authority retain the original site inside the station. This particular one is technically installed outside of the train station to look like one. There were so many visitors asking for the Platform 9and 3/4 that it became unbearable A and J have a picture of them in that platform.

O bairro alto mas limpinho em Londres!

AH! I miss smelling them!

Pret A Manger

YUM

wanna go there again

the best street in the world for its Xmas lights displays

Regent Street London

roses, smell roses...

.

Just walk.

Need to go back... I was about 3 when I went.

See the changing of the guard if you can. It's pretty neat :)

Of course the changing of the guards

.

Walk across and up and across some more.

Love

Oxford Circus

I find the traffic here mesmerizing.

Always wanted to go to London. Never had the chance nor the money to while studying in Germany.

Tower Bridge

We went and walked around to check out everything, but tbh, i'm not that into all the torture devices, so it wasn't that compelling to me.

Spent a whole day here and could have spent many more. It's not cheap and there's a lot to see so I would start early in the day. The crown jewels are just incredible and everything is displayed so well.

Heaven on earth!

Shopping Mecca.

Love this place!

New year's eve there.

Fountain.

Be careful crossing the street

Can't wait to go back!!

England

It is a wonder what could be built in the "dark ages"

After a wave of fatigue, I leaned against one of the crypts. It turned out to be that of Geoffrey Chaucer. How cool is that?

Gorgeous architecture. Went right after marriage of Will & Kate. Crown jewels were on display as well. I wouldn't have missed it.
