First time to LONDON 18th OCT 2008

Houses of Parliament

Westminster Abbey --world famous for being the resting place of centuries of British monarchs, and as the place where coronations and other royal pageants take place, with every coronation since 1066 having took place here. It is an architectural masterpiece of the 13th to 16th centuries, and within its walls can be seen some of the most glorious examples of medieval architecture in London. Westminster Abbey contains one of the most impressive collections of tombs and monuments in the world. Inside its very walls you will find the Confessor�s Shrine, the tombs of Kings and Queens, and countless memorials to people great and famous throughout history. In 1965-66, Westminster Abbey celebrated its 900th anniversary.

The British Museum This is the real mummy ..... Scary but interesting .... finally i met the real mummy !!










Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece - St Paul's Cathedral - crowned by the magnificent dome that is so much a part of the London skyline. The Cathedral was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1666. In recent years it has seen the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, to Lady Diana Spencer and, most recently, the thanksgiving services for both the Golden Jubilee and 80th Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen.




Lunch in a restaurant in ChinaTown -- u know how much is this fried rice ?? it's £4.80




the Big Ben -- is famous the world over for being the giant four faced clock in London, England, but infact its not the name of the clock at all. Big Ben is the name of the giant 14-tonne bell that hangs inside the clock tower and chimes every hour of every day in England. The huge bell was hung in 1858 and named after Sir Benjamin Hall, Chief Commissioner of Works at the time the bell was hung. The bell is the second giant bell to be hung, the first one became cracked during a test ringing. However, the present bell also has a slight crack. Big Ben is the largest clock in Britain and has kept exact time for the nation since May 1859. It has four 23ft (7.5m) dials (one on each face) and the minute hand is 14ft long and made of hollow copper for lightness. In England you can hear Big Ben chiming daily the nation over, either on television news or radio
