London by uncle chan

Everybody should be know London, it is capital of England and United Kingdom. London is a nice place that you must visit when you travel to United Kingdom. I went to London for 3 days 2 nights, here are the photos of London.

Me and my friends go to London by National Rail from Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston Station. It take around 2 hours to reach London. You can online inside the train and there have table with electric socket so that you don’t have to worry on laptop out of battery.

Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch. It open to the public on summer July till September. The entry fee is 16.50 pound per adult and 15 pound for student. I paid and go in have a visit, decoration inside very luxury and beautiful. Sorry no picture of inside palace because photography and video recording are not allow.

11.30am is the time of changing guard. This is one of the tourist attraction at Buckingham Palace. Look at the pictures, full of people.

Guards behind the gate. Do you remember Mr. Bean tease on the guard in one of his TV show ?

London Underground also know as tube is the main transport in London. It can travel to every tourist attraction location and very convenient. Buy the Oyster card is best way when visit in London. The Oyster card is 3 pound deposit and refundable. Top-up the Oyster card and it charge with credit when you travel by London Underground. Every zone have different maximum charge, let say zone 1 maximum charge is 5.30pound, you can travel as much as you like till your Oyster card deduct 5.30pound and it’s no more charge after that.

London really worth to visit. We are satisfy on this trip although just 3days time.  We take National Rail again go back to Liverpool Lime Street.

Actually there are still a lot of tourist attraction in London such as Tower of London, Madame Tussauds and more but I can’t afford those entry fee. I need save for next trip especially for 2 week Euro trip later.
