While we were over in England during December and January 2003/04, we took several trips into London. We visited the Cabiner War Rooms, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and a few other places. This is a compilation of photos from these visits.

The images on this page are 640*480, but you can click on some of them for a much larger 1152*864 version. The page may take a couple of minutes to load.

Tower Bridge just after sunset.

Downing Street - home of the Prime Minister.

A partial view through the gates of Downing Street. Number 10 (home of the prime minister)
is just to the right of the Christmas Tree. The black door viewable just to the left of the
tree in the distance, is number 12.

This is a view of the London Eye from just opposite the entrance to Downing Street in Westminster, London.

One of several entrances to Westminster Underground (Tube) Station.

Westminster Abbey by night. Didn't come out quite as well as I would have liked.

Inside the Cabinet War Rooms. This is the actual room where Churchill and the war cabinet conducted briefings,
strategic planning and intelligence reports during World War II.

There was always a 24 hour guard stationed outside the War Cabinet room.
