In London as in Oxford, there are reminders for foriegners, forgetting which side of the road people drive on can be deadly!

We packed up and moved from Oxford to London today. We road south to London on a bus. It took about two hours. The bus dropped us at Victoria Station which is one of the main bus stations in London. Then we rode in a traditonal London taxi to our boarding house near Russell Square.
After we got into our rooms we walked to the British Museum which is just around the corner. We ate lunch there and had a look around. It is one of the finest museums in the world with many treasures from all around the British Empire.
We then walked to the Dickens House Museum for short visit. This is one of the houses where Charles Dickens lived and he wrote some of his most famous works at this house e.g. Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers.

Tomorrow is our last full day. We will visit Churchill's War Cabinet Rooms, the National Portrait Gallery, and offices of the Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF).
