Title: Trip to London April 2013
Post by: phildinftlaudy on June 09, 2013, 02:30:54 pm

Took awhile because of life circumstances to get a few pictures from London posted - More on my FB page...

London was great - so was Birmingham and Bath... A bit cold some days. Would have had a better time had I not had my bro on my mind - So, I will have to make a point to go back again soon when I can fully enjoy....

For your viewing pleasure:

View from the hotel - The Grosvenor - Victoria

Ceiling in hotel lobby (yes, I was laying on my back - so what is new?)

Me and my mate from Birmingham (um um um)... at the Bull Ring...

Look of shock and disbelief as I find the only bar stool actually at the bar in London!!

Windsor Castle - no pics allowed inside... The Queen was actually there the day we were and we saw her getting in the car to head to church...

I'm glad you managed to enjoy your trip Phil, the photo's of London are great, but my favourite place is Bath, I just love that city,

I imagine there is not much building going on in the city itself but if there is I hope they haven't stooped to building with bricks and have stayed to the beautiful stone they use on their buildings.

No daily tea, scones and clotted cream?

Actually did tea a couple of times -
the best was at Harrod's in The Tea Room - had "Afternoon Tea Deluxe" with such a huge triple platter of sweets that my belly hurt afterwards.
