London with Harley – Day Two,
to Mews & Bits
    We ate a hearty breakfast, headed to
Earls Court Station and Bear guided us to Piccadilly
Circus. The boys posed under Eros, then we
bimbled down Pall Mall to Trafalgar Square. Harley sat on the top step to the right under
Nelson.
  St Martin in the
Fields and the National Gallery dominate the
‘top’ of the square.
 Tourists enjoying the fountain.
 For me there is only one (well four)
‘things’ in Trafalgar Square – Landseer’s Lions.
 We crossed the road and I enjoyed the
street light.
   Heading toward Admiralty Arch, The Admiralty and Harley with Buckingham Palace just visible at the bottom of The Mall.
Admiralty Arch (now behind us) is a landmark building in London which incorporates an archway providing road and pedestrian access between The Mall, which extends to the southwest, and Trafalgar Square to the northeast. Admiralty Arch, commissioned by King Edward VII in memory of his mother, Queen Victoria and designed by Aston Webb is now a Grade I listed building. In the past, it served as residence of the First Sea Lord and was used by the Admiralty.
The Royal Marines
Memorial.
 Nearing Buckingham Palace we enjoyed
the formal gardens.
  Harley trotting
on toward the ‘important house’ and following a couple of Chelsea Pensioners.

 A fun
picture with fun Guards........

 After our Mews and Palace visits we
headed down to the underground, along the
walkway..............
  .......we learned some ‘stuff’.
  On our way
down and looking up the steep
escalator.................

  Back to our digs for a well-earned
supper.
ALL IN ALL A COLOURFUL
DAY
