We didn't have to meet for our tour until 12:30 pm so we had breakfast and then went out exploring the neighborhood.
We went over a pedestrian bridge to the other side of the Thames River and walked along the river. We came across the Globe Theater and the ship the Golden Hinde II. Continuing our walk we reached the London Bridge stopping to take photos before we crossed it and continued our walk back to the Hotel.

We got on the bus at 12:30 for the ride to St. Paul's Church which was nearby. The tour guide led us through the Church and associated rooms and when done we got on the bus to go to the Tower of London.

We crossed the Thames River and the driver let us off the bus several blocks away from the Tower of London. The guide gave us explanations about the history of the building as we walked around it. Afterwards we had a little free time to take photos before we headed back to the bus.

Next we went to visit Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. We took photos of the outside but did not have enough time to go inside the Church.
Our last visit was to Buckingham Palace. We had about 45 minutes to walk around and take photos here.
Our tour included a farewell dinner at a local pub. Unfortunately the pub was really bad in all ways. This was the low point of our tour.
