Today I got up at about 8:30 ready to go down to London. After a visit from my Uncle Mark we began to pack the car. We then set off to get petrol and drop the dogs off at my Gran's.
After a 3 and a half hour trip and a pit stop at the service stations for snacks we finally made it to our travel lodge in Barking. We brought in our suitcases then we walked to Barking Station where we got a tube train into central London.
We got off the train after 30 minutes at Westminster Station where we headed for Tesco Express for lunch. On the way we past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament AND The London Eye! When we had finished our lunch we went for a walk around London when we spotted 10 Downing Street, the horse guards parade, Nelson's Column and Trafalgar Square, we went through the Marble Arch into St. James' Park and up to Buckingham Palace.
A short while later we headed back down the mall and we saw Clarence House and St. James' Palace. We went on to Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square and we saw the Odeon where the film premiers are held and we went to a resteraunt called 'The Mermaid's Tail.'
After tea we went through Covent Garden Market and past lots of grand west end theatres.We walked to Temple Station and got back on the train to come back to our hotel for a nice cool bath and nice warm bed.
