All in one London Day!!

1 day with 1 friend and 1 oyster train card, tubing around in the London Underground!! This time round, I was staying over with Pei Chia over the weekend before my meeting at the RPSGB on Mon.

This city is really expensive to live in....had a craving for Duck Rice in my head before I reached London and surprisingly, the first thing she brought me to eat was duck rice at 4 seasons!! Well, it was really nice ...at 4.5 pounds per plate. We had krispy kreme doughnuts at the Victoria Station area too.



Me with London Cabs!! One black one and a colourful one...first shot of the day



St. Paul's Cathedral



The Red Telephone Booth



The Salvation Army - International HQ



The Millenium Bridge







Shakespeare's Globe - the original Macbeth's window they say



I didn't believe this was London's Bridge!! And so we all thought it was falling down...not as I thought it would be like...:(



Clink Prison Museum



A welcome



This boat has a special name and meaning which I forgot...



Tower Bridge!! And so this was the bridge that every other kid in the world thought was falling down...







The City Hall - on the south bank of the Thames, near to the Tower Bridge. Home to the Mayor of London, the London Assembly and the GLA.
