We met underneath the 15″ naval guns in front of the Imperial War Museum, London.

Now we’re inside the museum. A view of the horrors of war.

The Tibetan Peace Garden is just two minutes’ walk from the front of the museum.

Jeremy in the back streets of Lambeth. This was St Mary’s Gardens. We’re around the corner from The Ship here.

This was lunch — the duck salad at The Ship on Kennington Lane.

Jeremy at The Ship.

We’d booked a private tour of Lambeth Palace after lunch. This place is the London home of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

These are the gardens inside Lambeth Palace. Note the gold tinted Bath stone used in construction — unusual for London.

Across the Thames. The view of the Palace of Westminster from Victoria Tower Gardens.

The famous First World War poet Siegfried Sassoon lived here in Westminster.

Jeremy in the Dean’s Yard, Westminster. We’re right around the corner from Westminster Abbey.

The high, vaulted roof of Westminster Abbey.

First glance of The Tomb of the Unkown Warrior, inside Westminster Abbey.

Close-up of The Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey. There’s a mirror-image tomb under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. That’s where I’ll be finishing up the walk on October 31st.
