Marching from the Royal Horse Guard Parade to Buckingham Palace for the rehearsal of the Queen's Birthday Celebration
In May, our family had a great few days of holiday in London, England, on our journey back to Canada. We rented a little apartment near Picadilly Circus and were able to walk to most of the famous sites and square of London’s West End.

We had made a long list of things we were interested in seeing and doing in London, but hardly made a dent in it as each day was filled with so many unexpected highlights. It was wonderful to stroll around the neighborhoods and not feel constrained by any schedule. One of our favorite days was spent exporting Soho and Coventry Garden, and spending an afternoon with our kids at the incredible Hamley's Toy Store.
Great street side cafes!
Being great Harry Potter fans, the must see destination for our children was the Warner Bros. Studio Tour of the Magical World of Harry Potter. Not only were we transported into the original sets, the kids were able to fly brooms on green screens, try their hand at a wizard's duel, and see the props and animatronics created for the movies.

We had a wonderful few days, enjoying our incredible children.
