Rushed to the famed Buckingham Palace to catch the changing of the guards at 11am, BUT it was postponed to the next day for reasons I don't know! Damn our luck.
The Palace is open to visitors during summer only. It's considered winter now (by right it's autumn but to the locals, there are really only 2 seasons there).
Overlooking the Green Park opposite the Palace. I love that London has so many nice, huge, clean parks.
Just as we were about to leave, then came the horse guards parade.
They were carrying swords! Or whatever you call them.
Tried to chase after them on the road, but they were too fast.
Simply beautiful! Autumn is awesome!
The Wellington Monument.
I love the architecture here. I love old buildings and designs and London is full of them!
Their very cute taxis and their famous red double-decker buses.
Arrived at Harrods.
The crazy crowded Food Hall, apparently Harrods afternoon tea is great but we didn't care to try it - just bought ourselves 2 cupcakes for fun.
Princess Diana and Dodi al Fayed memorial in Harrods. hmm
Victoria & Albert Museum, the national museum of arts and design.
Not something that I can appreciate - but entrance is free so we stopped by and took a quick look.
The Natural History museum - another museum with free entrance. Just love FREE stuff. haha
Lovely building.
This dino looks awfully familiar. :D
So freakin' pretty!
A humongous 1,300 year-old giant sequoia tree trunk.
Also dropped by at Kensington Palace and Gardens, once the official residence of Princess Diana.
And then back to Oxford Street to shop a little. London is already in the festive mood.
It's about 2 months to Christmas tho. lol
Selfridges - one of the popular malls here.
The chocolate and red velvet cupcakes from Harrods, 2.5 pounds each if I'm not mistaken. The red velvet is super duper awesome! ♥
That's it for day 2. Next day would be our first tour out of London.
