This post is long overdue. Here are some picture I took (some are Jo's) of this life changing trip:
Every English boy looks like Harry Porter
London suburban landscape
Black Cab (classy - not like our red and white wira taxi)
London, land of musicals. We watched "We will Rock you" which absolutely rocked our socks out!
Piccadilly Circus. Amazing architecture.
Buckingham Palace. Throngs and throngs of tourists waiting for the changing of guards wor... Hami sai pun kua bey teok.
Bobbies at Buckingham Palace.
A pudgy palace guard with the famous beaver hat.
Westminster Abbey (front and back - not too sure which is which)
Big Ben. Absolutely stunning during sunset with its golden reflection.
The London's Parliament House (where Big Ben is part of its Gothic inspired structure)
The London Eye (which was the 1st thing to do on my list, but strangely, we never got to it. Next visit we'll do it)
Prime Minister's office area - 10 Downing Street, off Whitehall.
Jo's fav detective. Did a worthwhile detour to visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum.
Chinatown lor...
Leicester Square, home to major cinemas. Most premiers are held here.
U2 360 concert at the world famous Wembley Stadium!
St Martin in the Fields Church located nearby Trafalgar Square (outside and interior. We watched a classical performance here the following day after our U2 concert. How versatile)
Trafalgar Square
Tourism Malaysia office at Trafalgar Square. (semangat 1 Malaysia mah...)
The National Gallery located at Trafalgar Square.
The Subway! Seemingly complicated with green, yellow, blue and various coloured lines.
Football culture. Chelsea fans waiting at a station for a game - all dressed in their team's jersey.
Chelsea FC Stadium (John Terry inviting me to join the team. Nah...I've got better things to do like like...I'll think of something)
The British Museum. Must go. We spent half a day there.
The Natural History Museum. Probably the best looking museum in London.
The worst looking museum in London, the Tate Modern. We just couldn't appreciate it. We spent less than 20 mins in there.
The most stylish museum, The V&A Museum.
Our first and last fish and chips meal.
Our first and last KFC meal.
Camden Market. Loads of tattoo parlour and wholesale "pirated" goods.
Portobello market. Head and shoulders classier than Camden.
Covent Garden.
Tower of London, home of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. Formerly a fortress, a royal palace and also a prison.
A Beefeater, intriguing name for a guard at the Tower of London. This dude was really entertaining. He was worth the price of admission.
Tower Bridge (always mistaken for London Bridge).
The Royal Albert Hall (looks like a giant mooncake)
The Albert Memorial (located opposite of The Royal Albert Hall)
The world famous Imperial College.
Tsiang's cosy place at Kensington...
...located nearby Hyde Park.
Our tar pau-ed food from a nearby Tesco Metro to eat at Tsiang's home. Blissful.
And...the sky on our last day in London.
