More London Sight-seeing by Foot
In part 4 of our epic family travel adventure we continue our London Sight-Seeing by catching the Big Bus Tour around inner London. We also take on some self guided foot tours to see Trafalgar Square and the National Art Gallery. Then off to the Cavalry Museum, 10 Downing Street and the Guards Museum.
After London Bridge and the Tower of London we again catch the Big Bus Tour over to Buckingham Palace. After that we hire some bicycles to pedal around Hyde Park. From there we pedal over to Kensington Gardens to check out Kensington Palace. Then it’s time to call it a day and head back to our Paddington Airbnb.
London Sightseeing on a Rainy Day
The day was filled with scattered showers, and we had to adjust our tour several times to suit the rain. We were wanting to take a tour on the HMAS Belfast, a military ship moored near the Tower Bridge. We elected not to get wet and took a gamble to go to Hyde Park for some bicycle riding instead.
The London sight-seeing was a great day out. Clarc found the simple fun of bicycle riding one of the highlights of the day. The bicycles only cost 2 pounds each for 24 hours of hire, and it was a beautiful sunny day to enjoy riding amongst the squirrels and geese of Hyde Park. Along the way we saw some landmarks like the Albert Hall and Kensington Palace.
Other Things to See in London
Overall a fairly active day and a fun day had by all. We can now give directions to most of the big attractions around London city. We also saved plenty for our next trip to London. Next visit will be getting the London Pass, and we plan to take the expensive tours inside some of the main attractions which are included in the London Pass. I would like to take the City Boat up-river to visit Greenwich, the Queen’s House, and the Royal Observatory.
