and in London :
These sites in London are practically part of our daily lives, and so merit a separate mention. Greenwich is only a mile from us, and clearly visible from our flat; we see the Tower of London regularly (one of our favourite pubs is close by on Tower Bridge); and Andrew's last job frequently took him into the Palace of Westminster (on Parliamentary business). The recently inscribed Kew Gardens is a worthy addition, although we don't get there too often, even though Andrew is a "Friend".
