Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abby, Westminster Cathedral

My walk to Buckingham Palace started at the west end of Trafalgar Square at the entrance to what is called "The Mall". A long straight street lined with trees and adjacent to St. James park.

















There were many people taking advantage of the wonderful weather.










Along the path were these markers announcing this to be the 'Jubilee Walkway'




Buckingham Palace is impressive to see. I didn't have time to take the tour. But seeing the outside and the monument to Queen Victoria was satisfying.


















Westminster Abby is also impressive to see. I wanted to take the tour, however they didn't allow photos












And then there was Westminster Cathedral which is Roman Catholic. From the outside it looks Eastern Orthodox. We were allowed in for free and could take photos.
