London
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007
For those of us in the U.S., few destinations are as historically significant as London. After all, until 500 years ago, the history of England was our history, too, and they continued to run parallel for quite a while after that. The area around Westminster where the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Center is located is rich in beauty and tradition. Here you’ll find Parliament, and the famous Abbey. Did you know that Henry VIII granted the Abbey cathedral status partially to spare it from the destruction many other churches suffered during his reign?
Now it goes without saying (but I’m gonna say it anyway, LOL) that you can’t see all there is to see in London in one day. You will need to find a hotel in London. If it were me, I’d try to find one that had been around for a while— like a couple hundred years, at least. After all, if you are going to England to see major historical sites, why would you want to stay in a new London hotel? The old ones have much better stories to tell.
