Covent Gardens, etc.

Saturday, 22 July 2001

  

Above, on the left, we see a well-ornated building near Covent Gardens.
On the right, a courtyard within Covent Gardens.  (The crowd is always large.)

Here we have two views above of Trafalgar Square - another crowded sight.

This store caught our eye - FCUK (French Connection, United Kingdom).
On the right, we have a "clockwork Guardsman" - a busker who entertains the crowd
for a small donation.  Give him a pound (about $1.50), wind him up, and watch him go.

Above, on the left, we have another busker - an "alien" with extended arms...he grabs tourists,
so watch out!  On the right, we have another view of Covent Gardens.

Check out the mix of cultures - traditional phone booths in front of a Mexican restaurant.
We found this in Leicester Square (pronounced "Lester Square).
On the right, we have another view of Trafalgar Square.

On the left, you can see the Admiralty Arch, leading to Buckingham Palace.
The red brick building is a Dr. Marten's shoe store.

Another view of Leicester Square and the inside view of a tube station
(the famous London Underground).
