My son impressed the tour guide because he already knew so much about the campus (like the tale behind the Paper Airplane Room) and some of the people - such as Diefenbaker.<br /><br />I wonder what other local walks are out there to pencil in for Spring.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04115352587183592646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-59295539524567303912011-10-20T11:26:58.973-04:002011-10-20T11:26:58.973-04:00I've never even walked the Freedom Trail, and ...I've never even walked the Freedom Trail, and here you are traipsing all over London in such beautiful weather. I'm particularly intrigued by the idea of doing the Jack the Ripper walk (surprise) and the Ghosts walk. I'll have to go and stay in London and actually SEE it someday, instead of just heading directly to the cruise terminal. It seems London is a bit more... scenic. :)<br />Continue to enjoy yourselves!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893995750373814482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-78377499448898237952011-10-20T11:10:24.252-04:002011-10-20T11:10:24.252-04:00I was just in London in May and had a grand time. ...I was just in London in May and had a grand time. I try to go every other year with the family! Those guided walks are the best - I've done the Jack the Ripper one too, such fun! It was a Pub hopping one - ya saw where one lady was murdered and then you went into a local pub and had a drink, toasting her life. And then you walked to another murder site, and hit another pub, drinking toasts to all these ladies who had been murdered. Crazy fun. The other tours you listed are also fabu! I especially enjoyed the Haunted London, Fleet Street, and the Dickens one. Such a great way to see the city!<br /><br />Quick suggestion . . you have to arrange this with the National Park Service cuz its closed to the public, but try and go to the Hyde Park Pet Cemetary. It's Amazing! A small Victorian cemetary. Lovely, completely absolutely sweet! Goodness, it's grand fun. <br /><br />(I hope this photo link works!)<br /><br />http://tiddlybits.smugmug.com/London2011-1/Lauras-London-Photos-2/17800353_PrpZ92#1360420916_hRsQx5r<br /><br />and<br /><br />http://tiddlybits.smugmug.com/London2011-1/Lauras-London-Photos-2/17800353_PrpZ92#1360404486_dzqkrRG<br /><br />A must see for Pet Lovers! Call the National Park Service at their regular number. Ask to arrange for a tour. Its free but they ask you to make a donation towards it's upkeep.<br /><br />Continue to have grand fun in London . . . its a wonderful city indeed!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Laura in ATLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-46376299656513976622011-10-20T10:53:15.624-04:002011-10-20T10:53:15.624-04:00And, take your camera!And, take your camera!Rigelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-4924258465523185042011-10-20T09:47:06.472-04:002011-10-20T09:47:06.472-04:00Erin, you bring up a great point: take tours of yo...Erin, you bring up a great point: take tours of your own 'hood.

BTW I love these kind of walks, I enjoy walking to begin with as you see so much more than you would by just driving by add in a tour guide and I'm all for it. I've even done a couple around Winnipeg that taught me a few things about this City even though I've lived near or in it my entire life.

Missed for all time by her doting husband Rex. The guide said that he tending to it until he died. Or rather he said "he tended to it...dum dum dum...till he DIED!!!!!!!!!!!<br />The other funny thing about this guide is that the last word was always shouted! Holly Little Venice is around the Warwick Avenue tube (bakerloo line) Lili Langtree had a gorgeous home there as did Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox, Paul McCartney, Madonna tried to buy Lili's house and Michael Flatly usurped her. Rigel you will be happy to know that Fred is a gentleman of the first order. We had a delightful dinner last night at Orzo's! It's weird Lyndsie because we walked up to the house and I said to Colin that it reminded me of the Admiral's house in Mary Poppin's. Then the guide told us of the eccentric old general and his cannon shooting ways. He said that the woman who lived next store was indeed the woman who wrote........wait for it.....wait.........MARY POPPINS!!!!!!!!!! Okay Holly couple pic, not a good one but Colin took it yesterday of us and it's sweet. Kate, sometimes I am yes. Even I can't believe some of the adventures!!!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041122116481448321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-2255479107587322222011-10-20T00:52:47.877-04:002011-10-20T00:52:47.877-04:00Jealous of yourself, you say?

Thanks for posting them . I love that Alice And Wounderland tea party. Oh how great is that. I think my favorite photo though out of the whole bunch is the Marry Poppins house one. I love that movie. It's one of my favorites so seeing that house brings back the movie. Amazing . I have never done any of the walks but I want to and will. I am going to put that on my list of things to do for life. And I am for sure going to do them.
