Once there I soon realized that not only is this a place for the devout and religious, but it's also one major shopping area for teens, tweens, and anyone elswhere and in between. With a shopping area called the Whitefriars, there are back to back to back stores for shopping.
Trying to keep the trip short (we had a lot of other things to check out back in London), we headed straight to the Cathedral and then planned to stop over to see the Greyfriars (one of the oldest buildings built by the Franciscans), and then quickly check out the Canterbury Tales. And although we did stick to the plan, we still didn't make our first train because the Cathedral was a lot more magnificent than we had anticipated.
But, due to the slight delay heading back to London, we did get a chance to grab a bite to eat, and Fish & Chips it was. And it was pretty darn tasty. And filling. We could have easily shared one order.
Back in London we were able to walk all abouts starting through Green Park to the Buckingham Palace, then through St. James Park to Parliament Square (where Westminster Abbey, the Parliament Houses, and Big Ben are), then across the river to hop on the London Eye. Even typing it makes it sound like a long walk. And it definitely was.
We had an ambitious agenda to walk up Whitehall street as well, but my feet just couldn't do it anymore, and we tabled that for the next day.
