London: Trying to See Everything…

July 24, 2026

All the planning and pouring over literature on places and things to do in London come to virtually nought in the scheme of things. We tried, we walked, we talked, we planned and in  the end we enjoyed but were exhausted. 

Here are a few pictures of the places we went and scenes we saw after 8 days of pounding the sidewalks and humping ourselves on buses and tubes. A great time and would love to return once again.

No invite to Buckingham Palace for tea unfortunately.

Finally, I have internet enough to post an abbreviated post on London. Many clamoring voices asking for more so here you go.

Each one of those cars carries 25 people
Queen Bodiccea watching over the parlimentarians shennigans
Hiding out in a pub off Trafalgar Square and ordering crackling. Could have stayed there all day….
Connie preferred hanging out in the lobby of the Savoy Hotel
One of the many street oddities
The Elizbeth Line – beautifully done
Madd Hatters tea party outside the north gate of Hyde Park
One Section of Hockney’s 120 foot digital mural at the Serpentine
What’s on the reading list
Hard to choose whcih of the $1000 shoes at Harrrod’s
All I want to do is set them free
How many should I buy?
Seen in a pizzareia in Islington

Now if I could only clone 60 Connie’s who row…..
Greenwich Meridian – couldn’t pay 20 pounds to see an imaginery line on the pavement but could look at the GMT clock
Iconic Tower Bridge
When will Ireland be one?
Figurehead on the Cutty Sark
Fun watching the kids on the Thames walkway

    Good to hear from you. All is well here. Nice and hot. Huge thunderstorm last night. Lots of lightening and noise but not much rain unfortunately. Peter had an idea. Let’s write to the Palace and see if they are interested in a home exchange. ?????????? Look after yourselves and party on Tania
