We bought tickets for the Hop On Hop Off Bus which has a stop very close to our hotel. We thought that it would be a good way to see lots of London while the weather remains cool, grey and damp.
We travelled to Trafalgar Square and spent some time watching the performers from 'Big Dance 2016' dancing in a variety of styles, from the Rock and roll of the 50's to hip hop. It was great!
Trafalgar Square was very busy. We watched the crowds for a while and then walked around the corner to the National Portrait Gallery. We spent a very pleasant time there looking at hundreds of beautiful portraits dating from the 1500's to the present day.
We came back to the hotel on the Hop On Hop Off bus, looking at lots of lovely sights on the way. We saw a hotel which appears to be where some of the tennis players are staying, lots of luxury car showrooms, the Houses of Parliament where there were lots of T.V. crews interviewing politicians about the leadership challenges etc., Westminster Abbey, the Thames and the London Eye.
We got back to the hotel, and our tiny but perfectly formed room, at about 5.00pm.
