Ten days in London

Recommended Posts

It is a great place to visit, which I did a lot in the 1970s, as I was shipped off there for a few summers, as I have family in the UK. Nice place to visit, but you couldn't pay me to live there, as they don't have many of the freedoms we have in the USA. Many of my cousins plan to retire to the US, specifically Florida.

Glad you had a nice trip to England :thumbs:

Thanks for taking us along.

My first trip to a left lane driving country was a challenge. 

 

Staying in the correct lane when making right turns.

Remembering to look right BEFORE stepping off the curb.

Glad you enjoyed your visit.

London is one of my favorite destinations, despite getting a traffic summons. I now know that in urban settings, where there are curbs and streetlights, the limit is 20mph, not 25, unless otherwise posted--and speed enforcement cameras are everywhere!

3. If Oxfordshire Had as Many Murders as the show It would be the Gary or Chicago Of England  they are very few and Far Between in that area of England It's big news when a Murder does happen

I looked at the traffic of cars, taxis, bikes and motorcycles along with the mass of humanity on the sidewalks.  Glad I was not driving and remembering to look to the right took some getting used to.
