TOUR OF LONDON

 

In September 2002 I visited central London for five days in order to see the historic sites and museums.
I stayed in South Kensington, which is a convenient location to all central London Underground lines. In December 2007 I stayed for another five days, again residing in South Kensington. In December 2011 I toured the sights for nine days, staying in nearby Pimlico.

     There's a lot to see at the sites and museums, so don't hope to go to more than a couple of sites each day, even if you zip between them by the London Underground, as I did.

  Click on a purple square to see description of pictures near that location. Some squares have groups of pictures.
