We've been in London for two days now and have been loving it. We're staying with Chris' college roommate, Neel, who lives in the Canary Wharf section of London (which is an entire neighborhood of high rises, office buildings, underground malls, and apartments built from scratch in the last 10 or so years).
We've spent our time doing tons of walking throughout the various neighborhoods and have seen some of the main sites. We put on our art history hats and visited the National Gallery (one of the world's great art museums), the Courtald Gallery (one of the best small museums) and Westminster Abbey (a famous church where all the kings and queens are crowned). We saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace (along with every other tourist in the city) and have walked a lot of the city seeing smaller historical sites along the way and getting a great sense of the city.
The city is BEAUTIFUL and we're having a lot of fun just walking around.
(The title of the blog comes from the common British phrase as you get on and off the Tube/subway. Very polite.)
