We crossed the Westminster Bridge to get a nice view on both. Unfortunately, &nbsp;the tower is under renovation at the moment until at least 2021 so it is not as impressive. The famous Westminster abbey was close to public also that day so we decided to go the House of Parliament instead. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main hall interior is simpler than the richly decorated outside, but the really cool thing is that we could attend a session of the House of Lords. No picture were allowed during the session, but it is a gorgeous place to see. The gilded royal throne and red leather seats contrast with the dark wood engraved panel on the wall, and above them rise colourful stained windows. Honestly, I tough for a second that I was transported into a Harry Potter book. We stayed for about half an hour, hearing Lords discussing local politics then headed to our next destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6526\" style=\"width: 1195px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3499.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6526\" class=\" wp-image-6526\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3499.jpg?resize=1000%2C667&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Westminster Big Ben London\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3499.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3499.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3499.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3499.jpg?w=1713&amp;ssl=1 1713w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6526\" class=\" wp-image-6526 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201185%20790%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Westminster Big Ben London\" width=\"1185\" height=\"790\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201185%20790%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1185w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3499.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3499.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3499.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3499.jpg?w=1713&amp;ssl=1 1713w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3499-300x200.jpg\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6526\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Westminster and Big Ben.<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The office is located near the old palace yard .

It is a museum located right inside the bunker that Winston Churchill was using during world war II. It is not just a simple bunker, but rather a full complex, hosting many rooms for different purposes: communication, strategy planning, chambers&#8230; The highlight of the visit is a spacious interactive room called the Churchill museum. Going through the former Prime Minister life, I learnt more about the man and how he went from a soldier to become the famous figure. It is more interesting that what it sounds, and we spent over a hour and a half there.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6529\" style=\"width: 308px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190118_140144.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6529\" class=\"wp-image-6529 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190118_140144.jpg?resize=298%2C530&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"churchill's war rooms London\" width=\"298\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190118_140144.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190118_140144.jpg?resize=768%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190118_140144.jpg?resize=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190118_140144.jpg?w=819&amp;ssl=1 819w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 298px) 100vw, 298px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6529\" class=\"wp-image-6529  lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20298%20530%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"churchill's war rooms London\" width=\"298\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20298%20530%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 298w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 298px) 100vw, 298px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190118_140144.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190118_140144.jpg?resize=768%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190118_140144.jpg?resize=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190118_140144.jpg?w=819&amp;ssl=1 819w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190118_140144-169x300.jpg\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6529\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Churchill&#8217;s war rooms, London.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything is wheelchair friendly, and there is an elevator to go into the bunker.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rooms and corridors can be quite narrow sometimes, which makes wheelchair handling not always easy, but there is definitively enough room for a wheelchair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can have a concession fare at the entrance, but the accompanying person will pay full price.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Soho_and_Covent_Garden\"><\/span>Soho and Covent Garden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After being locked inside the bunker, we decided to have some fresh air. So we went to stroll around Soho and Covent Garden. Soho used to be a district known for its nightlife and adult industry. It is now much quieter, although still very vibrant at night. Chinatown is right next to it, and it\u2019s always a neighbourhood I try to visit when I can find one. Everything is light once the sun is set, and it was a perfect place to practice my night photography skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Covent garden is more upclass, especially around the Apple Market. You\u2019ll find all the luxury brand around here, so I did not like it as much, even if the actual Market building is a very nice to see. And it\u2019s car free, so it is an easy place to stroll.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6521\" style=\"width: 1488px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3474.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6521\" class=\" wp-image-6521\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3474.jpg?resize=1000%2C666&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Soho london night\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3474.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3474.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3474.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3474.jpg?w=1713&amp;ssl=1 1713w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6521\" class=\" wp-image-6521 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201478%20985%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Soho london night\" width=\"1478\" height=\"985\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201478%20985%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3474.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3474.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3474.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3474.jpg?w=1713&amp;ssl=1 1713w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.iwheeltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSCF3474-300x200.jpg\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Soho by night<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a wonderful spot located between Soho and Covent garden that I would like to share with you. A small place hidden between small streets: Neal&#8217;s Yard Square. With its colourful round benches, vegetation all around, vintages light bulbs, tiny bricks shops, it\u2019s just so cute! We stayed seated here for some time, just watching passer-by. As stores started to close, it was time for us to move on to our last destination our this trip: The Lyceum Theatre.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both districts are easy to roll around. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some streets are car free, and curb cuts are generous. However, around the Covent garden apple market, there are some easy and flat cobblestones. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for Neal\u2019s Yard, some shops circling the square are not accessible.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Lion_King_Musical\"><\/span>The Lion King Musical<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This 3 days city trip ended with one of my biggest child dream comes true: to see the Lion King musical! It was fantastic! The cast, the music, the choreography, the scenery and all were perfect. As soon at the first notes of the opening song could be heard, I had goosebumps all over. Even the theatre itself, tracing back to 1765, is a piece of art. And to add icing on the cake, the whole place is wheelchair friendly. I would say that my expectations were high for this, but the experience was far above them. At the end, while going back to the hotel, I was humming the song and my head was full of vivid images of the show.

But I can already tell you that the buses are wheelchair accessible thanks to a ramp. On the contrary, the London Underground is not very wheelchair friendly. Many stations are not accessible and the the &#8220;step-free guide&#8221; is quite difficult to understand. I would recommend to use the <em>Plan a Journey<\/em> tool or to go around only by buses.&nbsp; <\/span>You can pay public transport by contactless card, oyster card or cash. If you have a contactless card with no charge (or a low one) for international currency, I highly recommend it. It is very practical: just badge in each time to ride any transport and badge out at the end of your journey (only badge in for trams and buses). Oyster is also a good option otherwise, but you should definitely avoid cash, as most buses will not accept it for example.
