Sara's Adventures Abroad: Exploring the City of London

We are finally more settled into our place in Wanstead and getting used to our London lives.

I didn't end up getting called in on Friday, so just did some cleaning up around the house as there was a lot to do! On the weekend we had our first night out to the Maple Leaf Canadian Pub in Covent Garden. All we wanted was a pint of Canadian, but unfortunately they didn't have any. Pubs here are so much better than in Canada, such a different atmosphere. We had to take the tube home so had to leave around 11:30 as the tubes close after midnight. What I found strange was the bar was closing around the time we were leaving - seems early to me.

Sunday we went to Buckingham Palace and toured around St. James' Park. There was a little river along the park and birds all around! We didn't get up early enough for the changing of the guard but they did some marching. After we got some pictures around Buckingham Palace, we went to Trafalgar Square then to Neil's Yard, which is actually quite small, but such beautiful colours!
