Jam-Packed London, England by da-AL

Posted on by da-AL

London, England, is a sprawling city packed with everything from art and food to shopping and royalty. The transit system is terrific, so for the few days that my husband and I visited, we let our feet guide our itinerary. A city of immigrants, the bed and breakfast we stayed at in the Shoreditch district was run by a New York couple. Our first morning began with a view from their balcony…

Many of its most famed sights are near each other, a riot of shopping, eating, history, theater, and even China Town, all walking distance of each other. It had been ages since we saw our dear cousin Giulia, Italian by birth and now a Londoner (read about her beloved mom here)…

We had a fabulous time with her brother, cousin Stefano (2nd from right) and his friend, Federico, who was visiting from Italy…

The Victoria Memorial is at the end of The Mall road…

Just around the corner, we happened onto an unexpected marvelous reprieve from our travels — classical musicians practicing at St Martin-in-the-Field church…

Rain didn’t dampen the abundance of lovely sights…

You can get wi-fi in these!
Our night ended with a spectacular view!

Here’s a little more about our wonderful vacation to the United Kingdom.

Have you been to London? What impressed you most, or what would you like to see there?

Happiness Between Tails speaks to and from the heart. It connects lovers — of pets, authors, books — and of my still-unreleased novels, “Flamenco + the Sitting Cat” and “Tango + the Sitting Cat.” The stories are my love letters to all who fear they're too odd, too damaged, too old, too whatever to find happiness.

  1. You two have become world travelers in the past year and I get to benefit. Thank you for photos, many showing sites I’ve never seen before, and for insightful commentary about family, friends, and other countries. So much fun to “travel” with you, Daal.

  2. What a lovely post. Back in the 1980’s I lived in London and only go back to visit now and then. The last time was to see some lovely friends from the States who were visiting. There’s so much to see. I am glad you had a lovely visit. Xx

  4. I went to London in October – it’s one of my favorite cities (also NY, Paris and Rome…)
    It was a short trip but we had a wonderful time. Walked all around, met some friends, ate and shopped, went to a few museums….
