So Chris took me to Kensington Palace, where Prince Diana used to live.
The garden was beautiful.
The most recent project is to restore and renovate the palace.
However, some parts are still open to the public.
The current theme for the palace tour is A Tale of the Seven Princesses--- talking about the 7 princesses whom had lived in the palace in the past.
The tour was presented in a very contemporary way. New visual art projects were set up in each room to blend in and tell the history of the old. Lighting and sound effects were used. It was a very interesting experience, it made me feel like I was stepping into a fairy tale. The fusion of the new and the old also made me want to find out more about the truth in the story telling.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to take any pictures in any of the rooms. Only the poster.
Some horrible person dropped a napkin on the ground, which made my photo imperfect :(

After the tour of the palace... afternoon tea time!!!
One of the princess' green house was renovated. And it was where we had the tea!
Bottom of the tiered stand were the fingered sandwitches, middle was the English scone, top were the cakes and tarts.

Last meal in London: home-made roast lamb
Very yummy
