I took some photos of Tower Bridge on the first day. I took this photo of the bridge from the bus. After that we went to Buckingham Palace. You can see the Queen’s flag in the photo. It means that the Queen was in the palace. On the second day, I went to the Natural History Museum. I took this photo of the dinosaurs at the museum. Then we went to Hyde Park. It’s the biggest park in London and I took this photo there. On the last day, we visited the Olympic Stadium. I saw the stadium on television in 2012, so it was fun to visit it.
