We took the train to Liverpool street station, whereafter we explored the Bank area and enjoyed our take away deli sandwich in a little hide away park we stumbled upon.
St. Paul's Cathedral looked stunning with the unusually sunny weather of today.
We crossed the Thames and wandered around on the South bank towards the Tower Bridge where we came across the busy Borough Market and some amazing street art.
The Tower Bridge is impressive to see and seeing it open for the first time was pretty cool.
We walked back to Liverpool Street Station via the Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and a delicious burger, to catch the train to our hotel in East Croydon which is about 20 minutes from the city centre.
It was a long and exhausting day, but we saw already some of the famous London sights. We will explore the Western part of the city centre tomorrow including the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey.
