Welcome to London!

It was wonderful to finally get off the plane in London, although there then was a bit of a wait to get through the UK border control.  LOTS of people from all over the world lined up.   After a bit of a delay with our taxi we arrived at the flat in Hammersmith at around 10:30pm on Thursday 1st August.
Next day did some local walking... this school is just around the corner from our flat:
This is the Godolphin Latymer School:

 Here's our first squirrel in nearby Ravenscourt Park:

 Next day we took the doubledecker London bus to Kensington High street and Kensington Palace:

 Here are the Barclays bicycles you can hire in London - pick up at one place and drop off at another:

Dad & Emily on the Kensington High Street:

 One of the famous London department stores - Marks & Spencer

 A delicious snack in Marks & Spencer:

 We love the old buildings - check out the black cat...

 Live music at the Whole Foods Market in Kensington High Street:

 SO many wonderful things to eat!

 Not much chocolate to choose from!

 And now to Kensington Palace to meet the new Prince George...

 Kensington Palace Gardens:

 Statue of Queen Victoria with the Kensington Palace in the background:

 More of the palace gardens - wish my back yard looked as good!

Those swans were a bit bitey...

 Time for the carousel!
