Today, my daughter is going to guide me to some tourist spots in London. The meeting spot is Piccadilly Circus at noon. I left the hotel a little earlier. Many visitors had already headed for the entrance of Natural History Museum. I made a side trip to the South Kensington tube station. The area in front of the station is beautiful and comfortable. Exhibition Road looks like a pedestrian road. As the Science Museum was not so crowded, I went into the museum. After that, I walked along the edge of Hyde Park to the east. It took much time to enjoy seeing the exhibits of the Science Museum. I gave up to go to the Hyde Park Corner station and took a underground train at Knightsbridge.

I was able to find my daughter soon in front of the Eros statue at
Piccadilly Circus. First of all, we went to a restaurant near there to
had lunch. In London, it's time for breakfast until noon, and I think
the volume of the breakfast menu fit in Japanese.
She withdrew
200 pounds at ATM and gave it to me for my immediate London life. We
walked to National Gallery, Trafalgar Square and Westminster. Around Big
Ben was the most crowded, as if London itself is a huge theme park. I
would say London gets lots of visitors from all over the world. We
headed for London Tower by tube(maybe, I forgot).

After visiting Tower of London, we walked on the Tower Bridge. On our way to Angel by bus,
she showed me how to buy a ticket with a ticket-vending machine at
Liverpool Street Station.

In the evening she took me a pub at
Angel and we had dinner. I often see many people at pub in London drink
only beer without any food. A Spanish group next to out table drank only
beer and have gone soon. I drank some beer, but I didn't know the
brand.

We got off the bus at Oxford Circus, and walked Regent Street to Piccadilly Circus.
