This beautiful park of some 40 acres directly behind Buckingham Palace is the Queen's private garden, where every summer she holds three garden parties. Photography was prohibited except for one minute, at the conclusion of our tour. The back of the Palace presently has scaffolding, as you can see below. The small building on the far left houses a swimming pool.

Un jour, nous avons profité du beau temps pour nous promener dans le quartier de Spitilfield où se trouvent de beaux immeubles géorgiens. Le quatier, cependant, est surtout connu pour ses marchés alimentaires délicieux et faits maison. Nous avons eu un délicieux déjeuner éthiopien!
Most of these photos are of Spitalfields, but there are a few of Soho, Camden and Piccadilly.
