More London



Just a few more photos to see. Oh and take note of the name of the proprietor of the pub!!! The Mc Mullens are everywhere!!

Had a great time in London. Its a real tourist's city with so much to see and do and so much history while also being very modern in parts. The London dungeons were probably my favourite part of the trip, but I was continually picked out from the crowd to be demonstrated on for the various tortures. Only thing that was a pitty was the pubs all closing early at 11pm, but we were there during the week, so im sure they open later on the weekends. New York might still be my favourite city though, just by a little bit.
We also happened to be doing the tour bus in London on the same day of the anniversary of the London Blitz so we got to see a WW2 lancaster bomber and a Spitfire fly over the city.

London yeah!


Hello all! Well we've been home from london for a week now and we had a great time! We saw a lot of sights and met a few friends! Brad and I went with Leanne and Emer to London from monday to friday and we stayed near Victoria train station which is near Buckingham palace and Westminster. We did a tour bus and a boat trip, we saw a show and had dinner in brick lane (all indian curry houses) and we shopped on oxford street. We had a very busy few days running from one sight to the next but we really enjoyed ourselves. We saw Westminster abbey which was wonderful inside with all the writers and poets tombs as well as the dead monarchs! Tower of London was equally as interesting and I loooved the crown jewels! Brad knows what I want for Christmas!
We had a quick visit to the British museum to the egyptology wing which I enjoyed. We had a great time at the London dungeon. This is a place where actors are dressed up to scare you with stories as you walk around through some of londons historical past. They demonstrated soem of the torture instruments on Brad which was funny and then he got put in the dock and sentenced by a judge which was even funnier! It was a good laugh. We met my frind Steven over there by accident and Emers friend Mark on purpose (he lives there!). We will rock you was a good show all music from Queen so we were all singing along. We did lots of other things including visiting Kensington palace and gardens and Harrods. All in all it was a fantastic holiday.
