London Day 2: Westminster Abbey, Diamond Jubilee Room, London Eye, Her Majesty's Theater
Feeling more comfortable with the tube and buses, we started the day off by heading over to Westminster Abbey. I have to admit, I was just in awe of the architecture of the church, the statues, and tombs. As soon as you walk in, you take a self-guided tour listening with headphones. You are not allowed to take pictures within the church. We walked around the church and the many chapels that were inside. While there, we saw where William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and many other authors were buried in Poet's Corner. We also lit candles. After taking our tour, we had tickets to go into the Diamond Jubilee room. I felt this was well worth the extra money. We saw cloaks from the 1600s, stained glass windows, paintings, and so much more. As we were leaving, I took a picture of London's oldest door from 1050, and the Coronation Chair. Afterwards, we made our way over to the London Eye. We saw breathtaking views of London....
