LONDON- The city which ruled an Empire!
Heathrow - an airport crowded chaotic,
Covent gardens- exquisite, energetic!
Tower of London- steeped in Royalty, historic!
Crown Jewels- exotic!
Beefeaters - gigantic!
Fusiliers Museum- regimental history and arms,
Imperial War Museum- WW 2 replete with destructive armaments,
Historic battles,
In land,air and seas,
Displayed in not to be forgotten photographs,
Educative audios!
WW1 battles,
In trenches- ghastly!
The Holocast scenes - depressing horrifically!
Westminster Abbey built gothic style grandly,
Tombs and chapels,
Of Royals ,
From Edward to George to Charles,
A floor monument to one of the unknown warriors,
A separate chapel of stained glass,
To the Royal Air Force fighter and Bomber Commands!
Poets Shakespeare, Tennyson, Wordsworth honoured with floor engraved names!
A trip to Trafalgar Square,
A column of tribute to Lord Nelson Admiral of courage rare!
Big Ben , Parliamentary Square,
Statues of Abe Lincoln, Churchill,
Nelson Mandela stoic and still!
Buckingham Palace, changing of the guards,
Victoria monument beautious!
Natural and British museums,
Displaying Elgin marbles,
Mighty Dinosaurs,
Darwin’s evolutionary species!
Duke of Wellington’s gate and monuments,
Hyde park and Covent gardens,
Tower Bridge,
London Bridge,
What a City,
Full of life and history!
Populated by people of rainbow hued ethnicity!
St. Paul’s Cathedral with it’s cupola of majesty,
Tombs of Lords Wellington ,Nelson and Florence Nitingale built cryptic ally,
Once this city -visited,
Leaves you mind boggled,
It’s sights,
It’s sounds,
Searing you,
Imprinting you,
With it’s character, charm , historic magnificence,
An unforgettable , amazing and unique experience,
To be cherished for long in humble munificence!
