It was my Birthday on the Tuesday of last week (the 19th June) and we decided to go up to London for the day ..... although, in truth, it's not 'up' but 'down' to London, given that we live in Hertfordshire!
Still ...... although we live so close to London, we really don't visit places in London anywhere near as often as we should.

| The London Eye |
So ..... determined to do the whole 'tourist' thing, we went to Trafalgar Square and took a trip on an open top bus. These first few photos are from the top of this bus and taking photos whilst on a moving bus isn't all that easy!

This strange sculpture could be seen just before we went across Waterloo bridge! I have no idea what it was in aid of!!

We then went on the London Eye. Thankfully the weather was very good on my Birthday, so the views were incredible.

After going on the London Eye, we then went on a boat trip from Westminster Pier to Tower Pier.

All in all, a fantastic day :)

You were very brave going on the London Eye, I'm not sure I could do it! And weren't you lucky with the weather, an open-topped bus would have been no fun in the rain. So pleased you enjoyed your day as tourists. Joy xx
I'm not bothered about heights! Mind you, I think you're so busy looking at everything that you 'forget' where you are!
We were indeed VERY lucky with the weather :)
