Big Ben & Westminster Abbey...

Day 2 in London, so we head off to see Big Ben, as we exit the underground walk out there it is. Big Ben chiming away. Big Ben was much prettier then I imagined the gold detail was just stunning...

Paul & Michelle visit Big Ben...

Check out the detail...

What a view...

So we head off to see the Jubilee Gardens, It's a perfect British day cold windy and 10 minutes of sunshine. We walked into a building thought this must be good as they are doing security checks all everyone. So in we go get searched then kicked out, what the.....it was Parliament house & they thought we were part of a committee as we strolled in with them. I asked "so what is this building" the lady said, "so your not with the committee." Oh if only I had of kept my mouth shut who knows what we would of seen.

You got to be kidding me...

Off to see Westminster Abbey, this was truly spectacular, I have not seen anything like it. Truly amazing as you walk around and just take it all in. You are given an audio guide to explain all the history and I wished we were able to take pictures so you could see the amazing detail, but no pictures were allowed. The history in this place is phenomenal, tombs of Kings, Queens, Shakespeare, Poets, Bishops and the list goes on...

We have never seen so many tombs of historic important people, highly recommended to see! There has been a place of worship here since. Get this, from the year 960! We also saw the Coronation chair brought here by Henry III in 1279, the chair has been used at every Coronation since the year 1308! This is the church is where William & Kate were married. If you decide to visit London this is definitely a must see.
