After eating lunch we headed back to The Tube and took a train to a station near St. James's Park. As we walked from the station to the park we passed this unique London mail box. The crown and letters on its door stand for Elisabeth Regina II.

A tribute to Princess Diana at my feet when I took the above photo.

We didn't have time to wait for the next changing of the guards, but did see this fellow. Note the Queen Elizabeth II symbol above the guard's head.
