London Trip



We have been to London for three days.
We took the Eurostar.

It was difficult to access it. I was going there like taking a train, but it is like taking a plain. There was security check, ID card and X-Ray scanning of luggage, no knife allowed. An no way to put it in the hold, like in plain. You have to pay 20 Euros to keep it.
When coming back to France, someone have tried to bring an axe !


The architecture is very different.

Sometime all the distric is build indenticaly.

We heat in the Crypt of a church already in activities :
We went to the Changing Guard show :

Everybody wants to see that, even a very small photographer with a big camera :


It was quite difficult to understand what is happening, so we are not always at the right place.
This old tradition must not hide the very modern side of London : the night life !

Going to Trafalgar Square at night is amazing. There is lot of people going to night club :
Here is a crazy bus with music and spotlight, every passenger was dancing !

This duality of London can be seen in his architecture :


What I like in going to foreign country is that you are aware to everything and discover some differences. But when you came back you see that some thing already exist in your own country but you don't see it before !
For example, the Subway fast food where we heat in Montreal and London, I saw that it exist in France but we did not notice it.
