September 12, 2015 - London Part B

We had such a full day there was too much to post in one entry so I have a short addendum to Saturday!

While we didn’t see the changing of the Guard, we did walk around Buckingham Palace shortly after the fact. The area was jam-packed with people!


There was also a huge demonstration and march scheduled in downtown London to protest in favor of immigration and just about any other cause you could imagine. They were expecting over 45,000 people to participate and I think they were not far off!
While it may not look like 45,000 people, there were people carrying signs and banners all around the area. We had to find a couple different hop-on locations because of the protest.
Many of the streets were closed and the bus routes altered. One of the other things we noticed while being here is that cars and buses would just as soon run you over rather than stop. They are better in London than Oxford, but pedestrians certainly do NOT have the right of way here!

More tomorrow for our Sunday adventures!
