By mid- morning we arrived at St. Paul's Cathedral.Queen Anne's statue stands in the forecourt infront of the cathedral.
The steps of St. Paul reminds one of the scene from Mary Poppins with the Bird Lady. I was expecting any moment for Julie Andrews to pop up to sing "Feed The Birds."
From St Paul's Cathedral, we moved on to Trafalgar Square and the home of the National Gallery. The square was built by John Nash during the 1830's.
Also in Trafalgar Square is Nelson's statueon top of a 165-ft column. Built in 1842, it commemorates Admiral Lord Nelson, Britain.s most famous naval hero. He died heroically during the Battle of Trafalgar against Napoleon in 1805.
Piccadilly Circus marks the entrance to the city's entertainment district. It has changed dramatically over the years and now many of the buildings are covered with gaudy neon advertisements.
