The best day for me to visit was on Sunday. Not a lot people there on the day, so it was not crowded. After a well planned trip to visit London this was one first stop

This place in the UK's Palace of Westminster is the world's largest Gothic building, right? A few photos here can be made into wallpaper. It is beautiful here. The weather was very good when I went there. A white cloud in the sky made me feel empty.

This is by far the best square in London. The beauty of this place is simply unparalleled. Four big lions and beautiful fountains add spectacular views to this place. When we went in the afternoon, it was crowded with tourists. The National Gallery is right on the square. I took some pretty pictures of this place. You can sit by the fountain for hours drinking coffee or eating a waffle ice cream.

Although not a huge attraction. The history and delightful rooms are well worth the more than reasonable admission fee.As members we got in for free, but both my husband and I agreed the £17 fee for admission was very good.Set in the ground of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, the Palace is full of priceless pieces of history. The King and Queens apartments were so interesting to see and we were both quite moved by the lovely items in memorial of Diana.Visitors young and old will enjoy this Palace.

Established in 597 AD, Canterbury Cathedral has stood at the heart of English History for over 1400 years.Worshipers and tourists come from all over to witness and admire the exquisite architecture and learn about Christianity. The Cathedral is also home to the burial site of Thomas Beckett also know as Saint Thomas of Canterbury. The Cathedral has many chapels and a crypt to explore and marvel. Definitely worth a visit and one of the better cathedrals within the UK to tour round.

Watched the afternoon performance of Midsummer Night's Dream. It was an incredible performance, very interesting, fun-filled, easy to watch and understand. The actors were all excellent, and the play incorporated some modern elements but very tasteful and textured. The building is beautiful, we have good seats on the upper floor, G1 and G2 have good stage views. Recommend everyone to go to the Universal Theatre to see the performance.

I love Greenwich, this is the most amazing place! I traveled with my partner and parents who were deeply impressed by the intricacies and beauty of the place. I can’t wait to do it again and I think it will be a regular spot for our weekend walk now! My dream is to get married here!
