London Walks and Blue Door Bistro

We didn't actually get to see the queen when we were in London as she was outside of the city at the time. We did visit the Buckingham Palace and observe the ceremonial changing of the guard. Our walk through the city of Westminster also included visits to the Temple Church and Westminster Abbey.



We crossed the river Thames to explore the rebuilt Shakespeare's Globe Theater; the Clink, an old London prison; and the replica of the Golden Hinde, Sir Francis Drake's famous ship.


A walk to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens included a visit to the famous statue of Peter Pan.



On one of these nights, we ate a lovely dinner at Blue Door Bistro, a restaurant serving modern British fare and excellent South African wines. Please read a full review of this meal in my guest post for A Girl Has To Eat.
