A couple of weeks ago we had day out in London, and I am so glad it wasn't the day the power failed on the railway and many trains were stuck for hours!
We arrived in London at Victoria Station and walked the short distance to Westminster Cathedral.
Our aim was to see the views from the tower, but it did cost a little more than we anticipated (£6 per adult whereas their website quoted £5). My photograph is a little lacking as I have missed the top of the tower and there is far too much foreground! Believe it or not it was sunny and I was dazzled and unable to see the picture in the viewfinder to check what I had taken.
Our little peek into the Queens garden!

The plans of the Cathedral are on display in the tower and this one made me think of patchwork or embroidery.

Well a trip to London would not be complete without a visit to our favourite Organic Vegetarian Italian restaurant, Amico Bio.

I didn't eat alone, but I was too slow to take pictures of the other's meals' before they started them.
After our very tasty and filling meal we decided to walk it off. That was when we found a row of Ferrari's parked by the roadside, like you do! There were many passers-by taking pictures, and, why not, I joined in too! Again, I have more pictures but I'm sure you wouldn't want to see them all.
Our last viewpoint of the day, for photos, was Staple Inn.
If you've made it to the end, I thank you for popping by, and hope to see you again soon.

Lovely to see your pictures of Westminster - I was there once but it was a very long time ago and of course I've forgotten what it was like. I do remember being impressed though! Wouldn't it have been fun to find out why all the red Feraris were parked there?
Hi Mary Anne
It was late in the day, and, as there didn't appear to be a vehicle transporter waiting, I assumed they had been returned from a car show and it looked as though they were waiting to go back into storage.
I Googled "Ferraris parked on the street in London in April" and found a video on Utube entitled "Ferraris Old and New parked in Holborn, London, UK" that looks like it was recorded on the same day, and the cars were, I mean "old and new"! I think I stood to one side while the person was recording this video, and I was taking my pictures too.
I also saw a news article in the Daily Mail which can be found by Googling the following: "worst valet - hapless bringing round owners hit accelerator instead of brake". How awful!! Barbara xx
