I just love the decor in this room!. It's tiny--maybe 350-400 sq. ft. But it's very cool. They have a stereo and DVD player and a great kitchenette. The best thing is the bed. It's extremely firm and I got one of the best nights of sleep on it last night. Or perhaps that's just because I was exhausted from the travel!
View from my flat in the Bayswater Somerset Hotel.
This is Nelson's Column in famous Trafalgar Square. We couldn't get any closer than this as the whole square was closed off for the Russian Winter Festival. Ironically, we heard one of the bands singing "Back in the USSR." Don't think so.
I had to stand in the middle of the street for this one! Watch out for the motorcycle! Just kidding. There was a median we could stand on. Yes, that is the clock tower of Parliament. Yes, Parliament is my favorite building architecturally. How did you know? Perhaps by the 20 pictures I took of it.
Horse Guards Parade is the setting for various military ceremonies throughout the year. It was the traditional entrance to the Royal Palaces and is still guarded by mounted sentries from the Queen's Household Cavalry. It is at this time that twelve mounted troops in traditional costume arrive from their Hyde Park Barracks.
The Smart Car
The Smart Car is London's answer to the compact car. I am standing directly next to the car. No camera tricks! This tiny two-seater is also a convertible.
