Of course, one of our first day outings was to see all of the sights in Central London - or at least as many as we could before the torrential downpour thwarted our plans for picnicing in the park! It is only a 25 minute train ride from the Weybridge train station, which is about a mile from our house. Driving in to Central London is pretty much impossible - not only is there a special Congestion Charge if you drive in, but the 25 minute train ride can equate to a 90 minute car drive...or more! Here are our rail travelers, ready for action!
The train takes you to Waterloo Station, where you can walk to the London Eye, Parliament, Big Ben and then over to Westminster Abbey.
We love these adorable cabs - a London standard - especially because we get to ride backwards.
Alas, our first day of touring was cut short, as it didn't just rain, it RAINED. It just goes to show you how quickly the weather can turn - I actually took that picture above of Big Ben about 30 minutes before the downpour. Check out the blue skies! So we ducked in to a little cosy restaurant for lunch, and lived to tour another day!
