Quinn was able to ride his first train called the tube in london. After checking in we headed over to the national gallary where we were able to see lots of art. Quinn found the naked people in the paintings rather interesting. I was surprised he didnt have the same reaction the next day with the greek statues in the British Museum. Those guys had it all hanging out. We went to the tower of london.
Quinn enjoyed seeing all the armor but not so much the crown jewels. Go figure. :-) From the tower of london we took the boat down the Thames to Westminister. Saw Big ben and walked over to Buckingham Palace. Didnt get to see the changing of the guard but did see them marching back and forth. On the way back to the hotel we had a nice walk thru green park. The next day we before heading out we stopped at St Pauls Cathedral. 
Very impressive ceilings and then we found out you could go up to the top. so we went up it was 250 steps or so. but then there was even a more up section by the end of it we went up 500+ steps. The stairs at the bottom where wide with two way traffic. The next section was old castle style, whindy deep stone steps. Then the last set were metal spiral staircases all the way up. The views made it worth the excercise.
