We headed to Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery via a tube part of The Tube.


Our train comes into the station.


I climb from The Tube and am greeted by the tower of St. Martin-in-the Fields.   (Click for Large)

I had to step into one of the classic red phone boothes,
long obsolete but maintained for tourists.

Trafalgar Square with the National Gallery in the background.   (Click for Large)


The square was crawling with students still on summer break.


They loved crawling over everything -- it was fun to watch.   (Click for Large)


It's not every day they get to ride a lion.


This picture has a bit of everything in it, including a spray that blurs the left side and St. Martin-in-the-Fields in the background.

Barbara said the bow on this horse skeleton was a stock ticker.
