The five arches of the Majestic Admiralty Arch lead from
Trafalgar Square to the mall towards Buckingham Palace.
This Admiralty Arch was commissioned by King Edward V11
who dedicated the structure to his mother Queen Victoria.
At Downing Street where the Guard House is....
No, not touching the horse...
I might get a Kick!
At the Guard House... .
Inside the Guard House... just one round and we came out after visiting the museum..
Next door is the Downing Street residence where the PM stays and works...
It was heavily guarded...
Then from there, we walked to the Westminster....
A home to many London's most iconic attractions such as the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben..
Westminster Abbey and the Palace of Westminster were originally built on a small island
called Thorney Island and have existed for around 1000 years...
Now I know.....
Some pictures before it gets dark....
And for dinner.... we had these!
Vietnamese Pho and some sidekicks!
Fried chicken wings was my favourite and the peanut sauce was incredibly tasty....
Well, I can say that was one ravishing meal for us!
One for the album before the Intake.....
Chúc mừng ăn uống!!!

DeleteWestminster Abbey and Big Ben are incredible!!! I thought the horse and rider were statues! I know the palace guards have to stand still and can show no emotion whatever happens. People try to make them laugh.
ReplyDeleteYes, they show no emotion, I guess not supposed to...
DeleteHehehehe Vietnamese meal is more suitable for you since you prefer Eastern meals to Western meals. Thanks for sharing the photos. Nice to look through them. Good to see all of you enjoying yourselves.

DeleteAnother two places where I just went past on top of the double decker and took photographs from there. Not much time and I was spending most of it at the musicals, London West End. Don't leave London without watching one. An experience of a lifetime.
