Reply To: 18 hours in London

[Eric Hadden]

Thanks for all the great ideas. Just thought I’d respond back and let you all know how the 18 hours went. We did a lot in a short amount of time, and the weather couldn’t have been much nicer. Here’s the itinerary for the day:

 

Underground to Westminster Station

Walk by Big Ben and Parliament

Walk along the Thames and over to Trafalgar Square

Walk over to/through St. James Park

Walk by Buckingham Palace

Cross over into Hyde Park

Take a nap on the lawn with hundreds of other Londoners

Stumble upon the beautiful Princes Diana memorial (beautiful water feature that I’ve always seen in pictures)

Wind up in Notting Hill’s Prince Albert Bar for a leisurely drink/dinner

Underground back to Heathrow

 

All in all good trip! Those Brits sure do love their gardening and know how to use perennials well. Didn’t get to see much modern urban design on this trip, but that was okay. Thanks again for the thoughts everyone provided.
