London, England, is a sprawling city packed with everything from art and food to shopping and royalty. The transit system is terrific, so for the few days that my husband and I visited, we let our feet guide our itinerary. A city of immigrants, the bed and breakfast we stayed at in the Shoreditch district was run by a New York couple. Our first morning began with a view from their balcony…
Many of its most famed sights are near each other, a riot of shopping, eating, history, theater, and even China Town, all walking distance of each other. It had been ages since we saw our dear cousin Giulia, Italian by birth and now a Londoner (read about her beloved mom here)…
We had a fabulous time with her brother, cousin Stefano (2nd from right) and his friend who was visiting from Italy…
The Victoria Memorial is at the end of The Mall road…
Just around the corner, we happened onto an unexpected marvelous reprieve from our travels — classical musicians practicing at St Martin-in-the-Field church…
Rain didn’t dampen the abundance of lovely sights…
Our night ended with a spectacular view!
Here’s a little more about our wonderful vacation to the United Kingdom.
