We met at the designated location right on time and walked out to Trafalgar Square for an orientation and the crowds were light. We spent lots of time discussing camera settings, composition, exposure and angles of perspective throughout the tour. Our guide, Lou, was very experienced, informative and helpful. We walked over to Leicester Square, Picadilly Circus, past several monuments, down to St James Park, past uniformed guards on horseback, and over to Westminster Abbey. We did take a short break in a cafe and everything was well paced…”
