There we caught the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) to Cutty Sark.I had wanted to see the Cutty Sark for years, and was disappointed when we last visited in 2010 because the ship was undergoing restoration and wa...

We caught a London cab from St Pancras to the Park Plaza Hotel Westminster Bridge. It was too early for our room to be ready, so we checked in our bags with the concierge and went for a walk. We were very excited to be back in London for the first time in 3 and ...

It actually rained a fair bit today...our first fully rainy day! To get out of the rain we caught a black taxi to the Royal Mews after checking out of Citadines at 12. We left our luggage in the luggage room to collect later. We saw Royal horses and carriages at the Mews. Then we took a taxi back to The Strand for the Pizza Hut...our English meal.

A but more shopping at Harrod's in the afternoon and Garfunke...

We walked up to the London Eye around 9:30 to try to beat the crowd which worked out well because there were only 4 others in the capsule. There can be up to 25! Then we caught the tube to see the British Museum and the London Museum.
