伦敦三日游(圣诞后。。)

Even if you have never been to London, as long as talking about that city, a large number of places of interests will be imagined in our brains such as London Bridge, Big Ben, the British Museum and Buckingham Palace. As an international modern city, London has a glorious past. Now it’s also the political hub and the capital of Great Britain. Though Birmingham is the second largest city in UK, unfortunately, comparing with London it can only be put in the shade coz ‘the moon is not seen when the sun shines.’ We went there as soon as Christmas was over, so all the stars were going to perform at that time. Meanwhile, I just came back from Paris several days ago. Different feelings can be enjoyed better through these different modern cities.

Here are some pictures from every place of interests in London.
The UK Parliament:
By the way, Thames River is so beautiful in the morning.
Westminster Abbey: ............
Unforgettable memory in front of Buckingham Palace:
Royal Arms:
No. 10 Downing Street: St.Paul's Cathedral: The red bus was just coming into the photo. It feels so good
After visiting this the third largest church in the world, I have finished the plan of visiting the four largest churches in the world. All of the most famous churches have been visited by me now, there's no shame in this trip of London. Now choosing the best photos of these four largest cathedrals.

The first largest one is Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano:
The second one is Duomo di Milano in Milan:
The forth one is Florence Cathedral in Florence:
The red telephone booth is one of the highlights in London:
Hyde Park, sooooooo beautiful. I felt that the nature was calling me (no WC)!
Three months have passed since we had an unforgettable memory there. I really appreciate the great interest of ‘little fat’ in the journey not only this time but also the trip in Italy and France. He spent lots of time on investigating every famous place of interests, especially the map of London’s subway so lots of time can be saved in the whole trip. After discussing together the night before this trip, we decided to follow ‘little fat’ coz he had sharp leading talent. Finally the reservation for the hotel was made by me coz that needs deposit online. The Ace Hotel! Though the name is good, actually we found it can’t be called a hotel when we reached there the next day. Sooooo terrible, because of such a low price!

London Bridge:

When we reached London Bridge it was late and the whether was not very good. So the last day I decided to go there again. With Alex Wu and Zhang. This time we enjoyed the bridge not only taking photos, but also being on the top of bridge:

London eye:

At night, we went on the "eye":

The British Museum:

We spent a long time visiting the almost the whole part of the museum. I hate English robbers! They are animals! There's only plaint when we went out. I have a dream, one day the whole museum will be moved to China, at least the cultural relics in Chinese exhibition will be back to China.

Madame Tussaud's:
We spent almost a whole afternoon in Madame Tussaud's. I deem that it's very neccessary to go there if you go to London. So many film stars, sports stars, political stars existed beside us and can be observed in real feelings. Everyone took photos with these "superstars". All of us had a good memory there.

Not only being closed with these stars, but also there's a haunted house on the way out. This haunted house is very interesting because there're lots of workers scaring you in many different ways.

Greenwich Observatory:

Greenwich, which is the starting point of the calculating time and geographical longitude, is of great significance.
Prime meridian:

Greenwich is far from the centre of London, but there is a magical view there. If you have enough time to travel around London, making sure that don't forget the Greewich.

Most of time we just went to every place of interests so we were busy travelling around London. In those three days there's only a little shopping time for us to relax. But everyone was very happy

Riverside of Thames:
