Our day trip to London began with the usual train ride on the National Express which goes direct from Peterborough to London in 50 minutes. Above left: Grandma & Grandpa at Peterborough Station (this was Grandma's first time on a train EVER). Above right: arriving at London's King's Cross station.
We really enjoyed the street entertainers and market shops at Covent Garden. Amy was nearly beheaded by this human statue (above).
Grandma & Grandpa watched the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace whilst Matt, Lana & kids went for a bird's eye view of the city from the giant London Eye ferris wheel.

We decided to walk from Buckingham Palace towards the Parliament buildings, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. This route took us through Green Park and many other beautiful and significant parts of London.
With the Circle Line (London's main subway line) being closed for the day, we spent some extra time navigating the Underground in order to get to our various destinations. But it's all part of the fun!
We had a great visit to this historic city and the weather was picture perfect - sunny and cool.
