Yesterday we travelled to London to meet friends to see Les Miserables at the Queen's Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. We decided to go up to town early and take a walk (in the rain again!).
We started out at Trafalgar Square and took some pictures there.
The first eight photos are part of the Elephant Parade London 2010
