OUTLINE: The trip will
consist of photo excursions to this great City’s icons led by Englishman John Baker. Highlights will include the
Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, the 'Changing of the Guard' at
Buckingham Palace, St. James Park,
Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, Lifeguards on
horseback and the three River Thames icons of Big Ben, Houses of
Parliament and Westminster Bridge. Night photography also
included.
LONDON NOTES: This trip is
predominantly a walking tour of London as one doesn't even
attempt to drive around this great city! We do however take our
time, hop onto the London Tube train to cover the greater
distances or to get home, and stop for many
tea/coffee/photography critique and instruction breaks. Average
health is sufficient for this trip.
This
is an optional add-on to my British and European
photo
tours,
and
can be taken with or without participation in one of those
trips. See the
photo tour list.
