London has been my home for a while now but haven't taken many pictures of some of the more popular tourist destinations. Although I've been to these places many times, it was fun to visit them again with someone who is experiencing everything for the first time.
Here are a couple videos:

Covent Garden is not a garden, it is a marketplace. In the old days produce was sold, but now it's mainly boutique stores and kiosks. There are some cute restaurants and cafes too--a string quartet can often be found serenading the patrons. Covent Garden is usually packed, but we got there early enough in the morning to enjoy it without having to fight the crowds.

Piccadilly Circus is just an intersection of several roads--a center of action in London. There are some big retail stores around it and it's also known for the big electronic billboards.

Scotland pictures coming soon!
