A Look Back at London

Posted on October 8, 2019 by carryoncouple.com

Tower Bridge (built between 1886 and 1894) spans the River Thames and is one of London’s most recognized landmarks.

Climate change activists were out in force in Trafalgar Square, blocking the streets, but otherwise demonstrating peacefully.

Chinatown offered us colorful streets to wander and a welcome break from the more traditional English pub meals we’ve enjoyed.

An evening of entertainment and laughter at The Savoy Theatre.

We topped off our stay with a visit to Kew Gardens. The UNESCO World Heritage Site covers 326 acres and features the largest and most diverse collection of plants in the world. We were smart to wear our hiking boots – from Kew Palace (top left) to the spectacular greenhouses, there’s a lot to see…regardless of the season.

Tomorrow morning we’ll pack up our memories and head to Heathrow to catch our flight home. It’s been quite a trip.

Nice photos. I would love to see the Kew palm house. The English were the first palm collectors and the palm house contains some rare specimens. Have a safe journey home!

Palm House was amazing. My glasses and camera lens steamed up as soon as I opened the door. Whew! Hot and humid and packed with palms!
