 I have been to London before, but never realized how many parks and animals there are.  The squirrels were funny.  These pictures are from Green Park and St. James Park.                                                   <<<<<<<<<<<

I would recommend a boat ride on the river Thames.   From Westminister I took a boat to Greenwich Village and it was really nice watching the sights from the boat.  The river has been very important for London.   The tide is also quite big, which you can see on picture 4.                                                                                                 >>>>>>>>>
