Lexington

Cabinet War Rooms

Worth visiting!

You'll swear that it is WWII all over again!

Inside, you’ll hear bombs drop, and air raid sirens go off. You’ll see the bed where Churchill slept, and original maps of where bombs landed and people killed in the London area. Anyone who loves the history of this era, will be amazed at this place.

Went to see "Phantom of the Opera" here

It was awesome, as expected.

Royal Albert Hall

Worth visiting!

I went to see the English National Ballet do "Sleeping Beauty"

It was spectacular! Not to mention that Prince Andrew was in the Balcony above me!

Betty's Café Tea Rooms

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

Be sure to get the Tea and Scones, which comes with Strawberry Jam, Clotted Cream, and Butter. You’ll not forget it!

York Minster

Worth visiting!

The most wonderful place I've been to in my life!

I didn’t expect to be so moved by this place. As we were going in, the bells rung, and there was a prayer said for the soldiers in foreign lands. I was nearly in tears. The stained glass is lovely, as is the architecture and the history of the place.

Salisbury Cathedral

Worth visiting!

The last time I went to this place

This Cathedral is amazing! However, pay attention to which entrance you take, because it is built in a square, and each entrance and exit looks the same.

Winston Churchill's tomb

Worth visiting!

The last time I went to this place

It is in the middle of nowhere, which is surprising. But it was a very memorable experience. It was so awesome to stand at the graveside of this great man.

Windsor Castle

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

Windsor is a beautiful city, and the Castle is nice to go through. Just don’t get in the way of the “Changing of the Guard”. I was not paying attention, and almost got run over by several of them! They don’t stop. I didn’t know this!

Blackwell's

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

This is a great place to buy souvenirs of Oxford. Also a good place to buy a sweatshirt if you’re freezing cold and it has starting raining!

Stonehenge

Worth visiting!

We went on the very day of the Summer Solstice

Apparently, there were many “New Age” people wanting to be near the area on that day. It is very interesting, and I’m told that the best time to go is during a storm. I guess it makes it seem more eerie??
