Yes, I saw them, though most of them look to have been liveried up? Not many Plain black ones.
I found it strange to see the pavement? in the middle of Oxford Street but what a good idea to ensure one can cross the road safely. Petticoat Lane, not quite as I remember it. I loved London when I lived there but then again I was young. I would love to visit once more and take in the museums and art galleries, it might happen , but if it doesn't I have my memories.

I've been to London quite a few times. What a great city! We've gotten last minute, discounted tickets to West End shows, ridden the London Eye, taken the open top bus, ridden in Black Cabs and had fish & chips at authentic British pubs. Not to mention visiting all the landmarks. Every time we go, there is more to see. I would visit again in a heartbeat!

To give us h ere in the USA a chance to see how others live.
Wish you'd do more thank you from my mrvl of the woods.

From Thursday 2nd June to Sunday 5th, The UK will celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. We are quite good at pomp and pageantry.
This link will give you a taster of what to expect.
You will come across the term, bank holiday, it simply means a public holiday. In 1871, the Bank Holiday Bill was first drafted. When it became law, it created the first official holidays. Initially, it was just banks and financial buildings that would close, which is where the name comes from. But as time went on, businesses, shops, schools and the government all joined in. So we are all getting an extra two days holiday this year.
