We toured the state rooms of Buckingham Palace. August and September are the only months you can do this because the queen is away at her summer home, Sandringen. We were not able to get to the changing of the guard ceremony.

afterwards went to see "Jersey Boys" at the Prince Edward Theater.
We drove past Waterloo Underground and Train Station.
We had an English breakfast in a kiosk in Russell Square across from the Russell Hotel.
