Busy City of London: Day 2

Day two started with quick breakfast then straight on to the busy Oxford St. where I purchased myself a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus. The Big Bus Tours not only covers sightseeing tours from the open top double decked bus but it also include free walking tours and river cruises. Certainly a great way to discover the big city for few attractions I had listed out: London Eye, Tower Bridge (known more by London Bridge), Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral, Hyde Park, Harrods….opps, my list seems to be getting longer.

As soon as the bus in motion, my hands and camera had been busy throughout the whole sightseeing journey. Started from the Marble Arch to along the Regent Street then passing trough Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral and across the London Bridge to Tower Bridge before I decided to hop-off at the stop in front of Tower of London.

After a little stroll along the famous attractions, I hop-on the river cruise along River Thames passing by some of the famous bridges to the finally stop at the Westminster Pier for the ride up in the London Eye.
