DISH DOES EUROPE: London by foot

The weather hadn’t improved on our second day in London. But we weren’t deterred. We were on a mission to meet the Queen, whether she knew it or not.

Since we didn’t rent a car — and I wouldn’t recommend it — we decided to walk everywhere. We mapped out a walking tour of Westminster, which included Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and the House of Parliament — all an easy walk from each other.

But, like on any great adventure, there were a lot of unexpected sights, shops and restaurants, too. Who knew that you could buy a Cornish pasty in a convenience store, for example, or tonkatsu in a Korean restaurant off Oxford Street?

We didn’t know that — but now we do.

Here’s what our second, exciting day in London looked like:

First stop on my second day in London: Buckingham Palace. To get there, however, we caught the Underground to Green Park, one of several open spaces — it’s considered a royal park — in the neighborhood.
