Tour of London
Introduction
This post reprises a one-day tour of London, England.
Tour Boat on Thames
This morning, we departed our hotel near Tottenham Court Road and walked towards the embankment on the River Thames. En-route we passed theatres, Chinatown, St Martin-in-the Fields and Trafalgar Square. At latter we came to a halt due to obstruction caused by the Vitality 10k road race. Eventually, we managed avoid the runners using an underpass and then on to our destination to connect with a tour boat
China Town, London.
Once on the Thames, and benefiting from bright sunshine, we were able to view a variety of sites and architecture on the way to Greenwich including the Tower of London, Charing Cross Rail Station and Tower Bridge. On arrival at Greenwich we spent about 1 hour at this World Heritage Site and then returned via a stop at the Tower of London close to which can be seen the remains of a city wall built by the Romans around AD 200.
