A great short walk about London

At last, I've got off my fat ass and downloaded the pics from our camera. So, we went to London again in MAY...yes..last month and Emily had a great time

We started her off with the routine trip down to her play park, stopping off to make some daisy chains....




Then catch the Jubilee line to Westminster...


Through the front of Horseguards to see the horses......


Then round to the back where the Parades take place......a brilliant place for Emily to run around.....


After a runabout, it's across the road to our favourite park; St James'..........


The really great thing about this park is, apart from it being really well maintained, is that it's very family friendly. The waters have rails around and there's enough runabout areas for children to run freely. There's also loads of birds, ducks, swans, squirrels etc around for an animal lover like Emily.



Then there's the magnificant view of Lizzies house.......


Then a little walk down Victoria Embankment.........

....over to a little used, but beautiful park called the Victoria Towers Gardens. This is just to the side of the Queens entrance to the Houses of Parliament The great thing about getting to the par is strolling by the Thames & looking over to the London Eye, then past the magnficant Beg Ben and the Houses of Parliament. If you're not in London very much, it's worth noting that there's a fantastic statue of Queen Boudicca racing towards Parliament from the Big Ben side, and a magnificant statue of King Richard III on the Queens Entrance side. Then just thrown is the middle is some weird bloke called Oliver Cromwell. Best that way as far as I'm concerned!!!....


So that was our little day out. If you have kds and you're coming to London, I really recommend you take a few hours out to take this route. It's relaxing, you get to see loads, and you will tire the little ones out!!!!
