We were carried along by the current of tourists down the length of the House of Commons to Westminster Abbey. The police presence was amazing. Heavily armed police at every entrance like they were expecting an attack any minute. Turns out this is the 'new normal' for London's high profile tourist attractions.
We crossed the road, passed a huge statue of Winston Churchill and headed in to St James' Park toward Buckingham Palace.

There must have been something going on at the Palace. There were millions of tourists. We had a good look, took a few photos and then pushed our way up The Mall to Admiralty Arch and on to Trafalgar Square.

We wandered up through Leicester Square and then on to Gerard Street and china town for some lunch. After lunch we went on to Covent Garden.
