London Pass - Day 2 of 2

Another early start.  This time I am starting my day at Westminster Abbey.  The Abbey is huge, and just beautiful inside, I am sure I have been in here before but I don't remember it.  I can see why Kate and Wills picked here for their wedding, it has an atmosphere that is just wonderful.


Your not able to take any photos in the Abbey itself but I didn't manage to  sneak in a photo or two out in the garden





I think I have found this the most interesting place I have visited so far.  I am really interested in the time of Henry the VIII and to be able to see his burial along with many other Kings and Queens of that time and since was just a little surreal for me.


I think I must have spent at least 3-4 hours here having a good look around and having the free audio guide made it all that more interesting.


Once I finished at the Abbey I headed across to St Paul's, being a Monday the churches were all open again.  This is where Charles and Diana got married and has amazing dome you can walk up in.  Now I had issues with small stair cases in churches so didn't make the trek above the main floor.


I decide to head back to the hotel for a few hours before I head out to the Theatre.


One of my friends in Edinburgh has a sister who works for the company that sells all the tickets to London shows, so I got sorted with a great seat to Legally Blonde which is on at the Savoy Theatre.  What a funny and amazing show, it is a comedy and if you haven't see it it is a must for both males and females.
