I had the chance to go to a conference in London at the end of October. I added a couple days to the trip for sightseeing since I had never been to London. The City has so much to offer it would take at least a week just to see the highlights. I managed to check out Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the London Eye, the Tate Modern, the Tower of London and Piccadilly Circus. I had a beef pie and fish & chips. Both were served with peas, the vegetable of choice it seems for the British.
