his section of "Places to Go" covers London . I live on the South East fringe of the London suburbs on the borders of Kent. This means that I can easily reach central London in less than half an hour by train and a further journey using the underground railway, docklands light railway or a london bus can take me anywhere in the capital city or the surrounding area.. This section describes some of my favorite places in the city that can be enjoyed on a day out, including attractions, gardens, palaces, museums and historical buildings. Some of these places I had never visited before and some not since I was a small child. London was my place of work for over 30 years, but there is a tendency to take all this history forgranted when it is on your doorstep. A great advantage of a day out in London is that you are not so affected by the weather, you can always find an attraction like a museum or art gallery that makes a great day out even in winter, especially if accompanied by a hot meal in one of the hundreds of snack bars and restaurants. The number of attractions in London is enormous, so this selection only incudes those that I have visited recently and were interesting enough to warrant a page to themselves. Please use the links on the left to visit a listed location, where there is a short description and some photographs.
