Having been to London a few times previously I wanted to plan on covering different visits. All the core attractions between the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey, while appealing to me, weren’t how I wanted to spend my time this trip so I devised a plan. The evening of arrival was a no holds barred walk through town on a lovely Friday evening. Saturday would be spent further West than I had been before but would finish up back at the heart of London. Sunday was a perfect day and would be spent in Hyde Park. Before leaving on Monday I swooped east to take in the Tower Bridge area and also stopping by a friend’s home to meet his new family.
My London stay is best summarized in the emails I sent home; I include them here.
