We left Coventry early this morning to catch the train to London, arriving there shortly after noon. I'm not completely used to living in the midlands where London is much closer than I'm used to. It only took us 11/2 hour to get there.

Our first stop was the British Museum, where we had a good wander around, including the Greek and Egyptian sections and a look at the Rosetta Stone and the Elgin Marbles. After walking along Oxford Street and looking at the shops, we took the tube to Victoria and checked into our hotel.

At night, we took the tube to Westminster and had a walk along the Thames. I only had my compact camera with me and didn't have a tripod, so the photos are unfortunately a little bit blurry because the exposures were several seconds long and I had to hold the camera steady against a wall or lamppost to prevent camera shake.
