At Lambeth Palace

After the service at St Paul's, there was a reception at Lambeth Palace

The rooms were rather wonderful!

The guests begin to arrive

Food is served 

The Bloglady loved the corridors 

There were portraits of all the Archbishops of Canterbury. This is Rowan Williams 

Three bishops from the 18th Century look down on the gathering 

Out in the grounds a magnolia tree begins to blossom

The main part of the palace

The gatehouse!

View to the older part

This is all you can see from the street

Back to the London Eye,...

 ...past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament

This view from Westminster Bridge caused Wordsworth to write "Earth has not anything to show more fair"
Er, perhaps it was a sunnier day!
