Since London is one of the the three most expensive cities on the planet (behind only Tokyo and Osaka, Japan according to the Mercer 2005 survey) we were very fortunate to be able to stay with Josh who has a posh flat on Hyde Park. He braved the pouring rain to see the usual tourist sites with us.

Later we visited Buckingham Palace. We caught the changing of the guard, but the Queen wasn't home. I think she was busy bailing her grandson Prince Harry out of jail.
It rained most of the day, but we enjoyed seeing the green gardens of Hyde Park and St James Park.
Popped into the British Museum to see the Rosetta Stone. Walked by the Moulin Rouge, 10 Downing Street, Trafalgar Square.
