London: Buckingham and Westminster 1

How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun? I had a blast! Sunday I went with a big group of Emory/American students to explore London some more, and we had a wonderful time seeing some of the more touristy sites, including Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. To spare you computer, I broke the post up into two parts: part two can be found here.

Sunday morning we took a bus to London Victoria Station and then walked to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guards! There were absolutely massive amounts of people there so it was hard to see, but the ceremony was lovely!

Hayley got the obligatory “picture in front of Buckingham palace” photo!

Afterwards we walked to see Parliament Square, where we saw the Palace of Westminster, Big Ben, the Supreme Court of the UK, and Westminster Abby (we just saw the outside/gift shop).
