Woke up early on 7 June to pack and go watch the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace.
Was there at 11am, and the parade started at 11.30am, with an elaborate show of bandsmen, horsemen, and soldiers.
And tons of tourists.
Afterwhich, I wandered around the parks and streets, exploring some art galleries and shops. When I got tired, I hopped onto the first bus I saw, which subsequently took me to Picadilly Circus, where I had my McDonalds' lunch!
Afterwhich, I grabbed some maps from the London Tourist Centre before finding my way back to London Victoria to get my train back home. I then packed to go meet Yujia and Covent Gardens.
Woke up to the lovely flowers.. Looks like lavender thought I cannot be sure.

School excursion to Buckingham Palace. The place is crowded with tourists and locals alike, and children on excursions can be seen. They're both local as well as visiting school groups from Europe (eg. France).
