Our hotel, Rubens At The Palace, and it literally was. Great location!

Seen on a train to Stratford-Upon-Avon, made us smile.

Ruins at a Jack the Ripper site.

Jack the Ripper author, he took us on a tour of all the sites.                    It was very cold and kind of spooky.

Wedding party. Bride was in tennis shoes.

London was our first stop in Europe after an overnight flight from NYC to London’s Stansted airport. Then a shuttle bus from Stansted to Victoria Station. See “Europe Overview”.

Our first day we had a private tour with London Black Taxi Tour           We spent 8 days in London, also took a train to Stratford-Upon-Avon one day and a train to Bath another day. Really enjoyed walking around London, love the architecture and all the lovely parks.

Just a couple of days after our arrival in London I fell out of a shop (didn’t expect those steps) so Jim called this our “limp across Europe tour”.
