The Beardmore was an alternative taxi design used in London during the 1960s and 1970s
A hackney or hackney carriage (also called a cab, black cab, hack or London taxi) is a carriage or automobile for hire.[1] A livery carriage superior to the hackney was called a remise.[2]
In the United Kingdom, the name hackney carriage today refers to a taxicab licensed by the Public Carriage Office in Greater London or by the local authority (non-metropolitan district councils or unitary authorities) in other parts of Great Britain, or by the Department of the Environment in Northern Ireland.


Ini ialah tugu yang terdapat di hadapan istana buckingham, apa sejarahnya,, akan aku cari nanti..





London yang basah ketika musim panas, tapi sungguh dingin. Mau mengigil gak lah. Matahari amat segan memancarkan sinarnya, walaupun ketika musim panas. Hujan yang dikatagori kan renyai di  malaysia, redah jer ler,,,




Tompokan awan hujan menyembunyikan langit biru di kota london.


 Walau dingin, perjalanan diteruskan,, singgah sekejap di kedai menjual alatan istana, kata mereka lah,,



 Antaranya, pinggan mangkuk sperti yang digunakan didalam istana buckingham. Tengok jer ler ,,,,


 Sekarang ini, Buckingham palace di buka untuk kunjungan orang awam,dengan bayaran masuk ,,,tah berapa pound. Itu pun, ramai yang beratur panjang,,,



Ini antara guards yang berkawad untuk masuk ke istana..ooohhh ini yang menyebabkan ramai orang tertumpu di pintu  masuk Istana...

Percutian ke Eropah (3 jul - 15 jul 2012) - London...

Red Telephone Booth
lagi yang berwarna merah, pondok telepon public, dalam pengunaan telefon bimbit , masih ada kah lagi pengguna telefon awam seperti ini?




memetik dari sumber .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_telephone_box..             

The red telephone box, a telephone kiosk for a public telephone designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, is a familiar sight on the streets of the United Kingdom, Malta, Bermuda and Gibraltar, and despite a reduction in their numbers in recent years, red boxes can still be seen in many places and in current or former British colonies around the world. The colour red was chosen to make them easy to spot.

Percutian ke Eropah (3 jul - 15 jul 2012) - London

Sementara nak menunggu train ke Gatwick, sempat gak merayau ke Buckingham Palace. Tak jauh sangat dari Victoria Stations, dalam 15 minit berjalan kaki.

Dalam renyai hujan di kota London, kami berdua menuju kearah Buckingham Palace, tempat tinggal Queen,  atau katanya seperti ini,
Buckingham Palace is the official London residence and principal workplace of the British monarch.[1] Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is a setting for state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focus for the British people at times of national rejoicing and crisis.  ini di petik dari http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckingham_Palace

Ini adalah tempat tumpuan pelancung apabila singgah ke Kota London ni... 




semuanya tertumpu di pintu masuk ke istana, kenapa yer?.. ohh rupa rupanya ada perbarisan pertukaran guard, changing of guard
petikan dari  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_Guard

The Queen's Guard and Queen's Life Guard are the names given to contingents of infantry and cavalry soldiers charged with guarding the official royal residences in London. The British Army has regiments of both Horse Guards and Foot Guards predating the English Restoration (1660), and since the reign of King Charles II these have been responsible for guarding the Sovereign's palaces. They are not purely ceremonial as some may believe; they are real soldiers serving in the army.





Itulah rupanya guard ,, nak tengok sampai abis,...tak kesempatan, so bior ler ,,


 

Inilah rupa istananya...
