London Visit Dec 2012



A whirlwind and fantastic tour of London city in a Taxi. While passing through London enroute New Delhi, we had about four hours halt at Heathrew Airport. We struck a deal with one of the taxi drivers to give us a round of famous places of the city. You may like to enjoy the same.

Westminster Abbey 
Westminster Abbey, formally titled theCollegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, is a large, mainly Gothic, church in the City of Westminster, London, located just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is one of the most notable religious buildings in the UK and has been the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. The abbey is a  Royal Peculiar and between 1540 and 1556 had the status of a  cathedral; however, the church is no longer an abbey nor cathedral.
