Kew Gardens

The
Royal Botanical Garden makes you feel like being in a fairy tale.
Especially in spring, when the bluebells are blossoming, the garden
are a beautiful backdrop for a romantic picnic..

Greenwich
Trip
Remember geography classes at school? Locating different places with
reference to...yes - The Null-Meridien! It really exists, and it
really is in Greenwich and you really pronounce that place something
like "Graenitch". Just as your geography teacher always said...
A boat trip down the river Thames is highly recommended.

Good Food in London? Of course!
Shopping
Fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry (still wearing their feathers..),
specialties from Italy, Greece, Spain, and even 'Spreewaldgurken'.
The
Borough Market,
next to London Bridge, is the place to be for every food-lover
in London.

The Tower of London
History
How cruel can the history of one single building be? Never as cruel
as that of the Tower of London. However, the stories about all the
beheadings that happened inside and outside the walls, the Juwel
Tower and an amazing exibition of historic armours makes the visit
an unforgettable experience.

Studies
Oh, before I forget: Of course, there was a reason why I came here
apart from this exiting city: A university at the heart of London
offering the best academic facilities ever seen.

London at Night
Views
There is no better view on the river and the city than that from
Waterloo Bridge at night. Only Hungerford bridge gives you a better
look at the illuminated House of Parliament.

Open house day
A Saturday in September
This weekend several buildings opened their doors for visitors. For
example the Treasury allowed a look at its nice inner
courtyard. Big Ben made its famous sound. Only Elisabeth did not
invite us in for a cup of tea...
