Changing of the Guards - Trafalgar Square - Chinatown - Science Museum

London - Very early in the morning we went to watch the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace.  The whole place is so crowded with tourist. 

Walking around Trafalgar square, you will find the Admiral Nelson being honoured here - Nelson Column which was built to commemorate Admiral Horatio Nelson, who died at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

Then to the Science Museum,

Engima code-break machine

9 July 1941, crackerjack British cryptologists broke the secret code used by the German army to direct ground-to-air operations on the Eastern front.   Watching the movie 'The Imitation Game' will give you a sense of the brillant mind of Alan Turing played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
