Walking London: Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Mews And South Bank

Early morning start from Tower Hill Station to Westminster. The weather is chilly but sunny.

A police officer directed us to a great breakfast at The Hub on Tothill St., just two blocks from the Abbey. All you can eat for 6 pounds. Great food.

We walked back and after a short wait in line entered Westminster Abbey. Beautiful church and tour. No photos inside. Outside tour was very nice.

Walked over to Buckingham Palace to tour the Mews.

Very nice exhibit. Then a stroll down the Birdcage Walk to see the park and pelicans.

Continued on to the Household Cavalry Guard.

Then walked over the Golden Jubilee Bridge to South Bank.

Walked east towards The Globe and then an early dinner at Borough Market.

A quick walk by the Shard and over to the Tower Bridge to complete the day.
