First stop was Buckingham Palace to see the Changing of the Guard - with about ten thousand others it seemed! We managed to find a pretty good spot to see the guards entering the grounds but couldn't see much when they got in!
Tallulah standing in front of the gates (later when everyone had gone) -
Once the action all moved behind the gates, we made our way to the Royal Mews. One of the many ceremonial carriages on display -
We saw a few horses in stables, but not many as I believe most were out on duty. A statue (I hope statue and not stuffed horses and riders...) in one of the buildings in the mews -
From Buckingham Palace we walked along The Mall to the Horse Guards Palace. Tallulah with one of the guards -
From there we walked down Whitehall to see Big Ben/Houses of Parliament and than back to Trafalgar Square -
From Trafalgar Square we walked to Piccadilly Circus -
And then along Regent Street to Hamley's (what may have been Tallulah's favourite bit...but yes, it was pretty cool) -
Tallulah was awesome and walked the whole day without complaint!
The next day we went via Chinatown -
- to Leicester Square to buy tickets to see the matinee performance of Billy Elliot. A great show and two great days out in London!
