London day three

This morning we walked over to Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guards. Honestly we thought it was going to be more spectacular but it was still good even if a lil disappointing. We got there way early, website suggested to get there early for a good spot so we got there even before that lol. It did mean we were right by the fence so could get photos with no fence or heads in them :) most the photos are on my camera so if you wanna see them you'll have to come visit me hehe. 

We then took the subway to London Bridge which was very meh, disappointed bridge!! Not even cool in any way shape or form :( Tower Bridge was next on our list and as it was close we decided to walk there, and along the way got rather distracted by going to the HMS Belfast, it's a boat for those of you who didn't know :) it was so cool, separate post coming for that one as we took so many photos and had such a fun time :) 

We finally got to Tower Bridge and walked over it, sadly it was full of roadworks, boo. We walked around the Tower of London but turns out there is no tower and we weren't interested so didn't pay to go in. 

Then it was off to Piccadilly Circus, which is real cool and very busy, but not an actual circus. We found Liberty (Department Store) which Pravina recommended and had a cool wander round there. We then got lost and found ourselves in Soho, got back on track to have an early dinner at Planet Hollywood (just so we could say we did), then we continued to wander and found the M&M Store, Nickelodeon Store and the Lego Store and then found ourselves in Leicester Square and we checked out the Christmas Market there, we saw a sign for Trafalgar Square and as it was on our wanna see list we headed that way, totally worth going to as well :) The National Gallery is by the square so we checked that out, there are some fantastic and incredible painters out there. 

And as you can't go to London and not see a show, well atlst not in our book, we finished the day by going to see Jersey Boys at the Piccadilly Theatre, man what a busy but great day :) 

Cute as swan that posed for pics in Hyde Park


Arch, think it's Wellingtons one as everything else in this square was his
