London: South Kensington; Monday, 29 August, 2022

I had an early breakfast and checked out of the hotel, leaving my luggage with them, before catching the tube into town to Charring Cross where I was joining a photography tour.

The tour was actually a 1-1 tuition and tour of some of the key sights of London showing me how to get more out of my camera.

We started taking photos in Trafalgar Square before moving on to Chinatown and Piccadilly where we also stopped for a working lunch.

After lunch we headed down to Haymarket and St James’s Park – including stopping to watch the Pelicans, before wandering over to Horse Guards Parade in time to photograph the changing of the guard.

From Horse Guards it was a short walk down to Westminster to take a couple of photos including iconic London symbols such as the Elizabeth Tower with London Underground roundel and the London Eye by New Scotland Yard, which was where the tour ended.

I wandered back from the Embankment through Whitehall and St James’s Park to Green Park where I picked up the tube heading back to the hotel to pick up my luggage and make my way back home.
