We're just back from a long weekend in London. We've been
visiting the capital on a regular basis for well over 30 years but it's still
easy to find new areas and landmarks. The weather was very good (blue skies and
up to 23C/73F) so we spent most of out time outside. London is a teeming
metropolis but has many green places. No Tower of London or
Buckingham Palace - here's my alternative London.
