Out & About Almost everything in London is within easy reach. It is not hard to get to grips with the buses and the underground system and wherever you go you will always be within a short walk of something interesting. Give the buses a go - climb on to the top deck and head for the front seats! The National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery are within a short walk; both are fee and offer hours of interest. The Courtauld Gallery is small but perfect, a gem. It is to be found in Somerset House, an important arts and cultural centre. In winter the courtyard is turned into an ice skating rink! A stroll through Trafalgar Square and down The Mall will take you to Buckingham Palace and perhaps the Changing of the Guard ceremony, colourful pageantry which the Brits do so well! The Queen’s Gallery and The Royal Mews, both at Buckingham Palace, are open to the public. Horse Guards Parade is in Whitehall, and further along is Downing Street, the official home of the Prime Minister. . www.clarendonuk.com Int/Mob: +44 1784 489 200
