| Very close to where we were staying, there was a famous market on Portobello Street.
|
|
One of the store was selling old sewing machines! Just kidding :-) They sold clothes, but lined the walls with these sewing machines. We found another like it closer to downtown London.

|
| Also on this street is located the book store featured in the movie Notting Hill.
|
|
It's no longer a book store, if ever it really was, but they have a sign in the window highliting the movie. Strangely enough, there was a store further up the street which was the focus of a lot of cameras. I think people thought it was the real location.

| The Tube was ubiquitous and Sylvia liked it, but Eric liked to take taxis instead.

A special memorial to Princess Diana.

| And, a kids park dedicated to Diana as well. She was quite the darling of the British people.

Out and about. These folks were feeding a few pigeons.

Kenny was particularly interested in seeing Big Ben. It rang 3'oclock for us there.

| We never got to the London Eye, but it was huge!

These style of houses were everywhere!
