You always can find something interesting in London. It was my day off and the weather appear so nice for long day. It is good time to spend the day in London walking in the streets of London. Like always I started my walking from London Eye to Buckingham Palace via Hyde Park to museums. I hoped to visit Albert & Victoria museum.

The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the
South Bank of the River Thames in London. The structure is 443 feet (135
m) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 394 feet (120 m). |
|
Westminster Bridge is a road-and-foot-traffic bridge over the River Thames in London, linking Westminster on the west side and Lambeth on the east side.
The bridge is painted predominantly green, the same colour as the leather seats in the House of Commons which is on the side of the Palace of Westminster nearest to the bridge. This is in contrast to Lambeth Bridge, which is red, the same colour as the seats in the House of Lords and is on the opposite side of the Houses of Parliament |
|
he Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth Tower, commonly called Big Ben, are among London's most iconic landmarks and must-see London attractions. Technically, Big Ben is the name given to the massive bell inside the clock tower, which weighs more than 13 tons (13,760 kg). |

Regal St James's Park is surrounded by
three Royal palaces. Spanning 23 hectares (58 acres), the park has a
lake which is home to its famous pelicans. Read more at https://www.visitlondon.com/things-to-do/openspace/best-parks-in-london#1MVsSctSjLVVzxSS.99

Buckingham Palace has served as the official
London residence of the UK's sovereigns since 1837 and today is the
administrative headquarters of the Monarch. |
|
Wellington Arch was built as an original entrance to Buckingham Palace,
later becoming a victory arch proclaiming Wellington's defeat of
Napoleon. Crowned by the largest bronze sculpture in Europe, it depicts
the Angel of Peace descending on the 'Quadriga' - or four-horsed chariot
- of War. Visit this spectacular landmark and feast on the glorious
panoramas over London from its balconies. Discover the Royal Parks,
and watch the Household Cavalry on their way to the Changing of the
Guard.

The Royal Albert Hall is a concert hall on the
northern edge of South Kensington, London, which has held the Proms
concerts annually each summer since 1941. It has a capacity of up to
5,272 seats. The Hall is a registered charity held in trust for the
nation and receives no public or government funding. |
