London on foot

13 October 2016

My walking tour started with coffee at Fowlds Cafe, Burgess Park, Camberwell.

• Bus to Elephant and Castle
• Walking past Imperial War Museum to Lambeth Road, Lambeth Palace, Gardens and to River Thames.
• Past St Thomas' Hospital and looking in the window of Florence Nightingale's museum,
• Past London Eye and the Jubilee Gardens, across the Hungerford Bridge to the National Gallery.
• The Haymarket and New Zealand House - how ordinary!
• Onto Piccadilly Circus and swarms of people, a sandwich from M&S Fresh sitting in Green Park.
• Across the park to the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and the Queen Victoria memorial.
• Into St James' Park and past the Churchill War Room, Downing Street and down Gt George Street to the Horse Guard Parade ground.
• A must have photo of Big Ben and Westminster and then a walk past Westminster Abbey to Victoria Street.
• A bus to Hyde Park Corner and a stroll through Belgrave Square to Harrods. There must be a toilet there surely!
• Wine and chips at the 'Bunch of Grapes' pub and then off to the Victoria & Albert Museum on Cromwell Road, Knightsbridge. If you're interested, click here to read about this brilliant museum. 
• A wonderful stroll around the museum for a couple of hours then back home on two buses via Vauxhall and Elephant and Castle.
• A quick shop at Waitrose for dinner ingredients and back to the flat for a well earned rest. Big Day!

Just another London street with stunning historic architecture, black cabs, traffic and people. On my way to V&A Museum.
