William & Kate

Looks like good fun!

Carnaby in London

One of the areas we're sure to visit (and indeed went to last year) is Carnaby Street in London.  It's an eclectic mix of shops and pubs that will make for a fun stroll.  Here is the Carnaby Street website--check it out!

London: The Royal Wedding

There's an article today in The Guardian about the wedding party for the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.  William has chosen his little brother Harry as his best man.  Of course, we'll be in London about eleven days before the April 29th nuptials so the souvenirs will probably be available in full force.  Get your British pounds ready!

London Snow

You may remember the snow that blanketed Europe this past December wreaking havoc on travelers for several days.  This shot above is from December 20, 2010 on Oxford Street in London as people were wrapping up their holiday shopping.

Olympics in London 2012

The 1908 British Cycling Pursuit team, gold medal winners.

We're going to be in London at a pretty cool time.  The royal wedding will be happening just a few days after we leave the city for Paris, and the 2012 Olympic preparation will be nearing completion.  It will be interesting to see what the city is like with the buzz of the imminent wedding--we're guessing our hotel will be full of tourists--as well as how the cityscape looks with the new Olympic arenas in place.

London, 2010

Here's a video we put together from pictures of last year's trip.  What a city!

The London Underground

Last year we had a wild time on the London Underground, also known as The Tube.  Getting on at rush hour is an experience you won't soon forget.  Check out this article at the EF Tours blog about traveling through London on The Tube.  Mind the gap, as they say!
