A trip to a snow covered London to get my VISA....

The Snow was about 6 inches deep!





The rare sight of a Bus !


Bravely I battled the elements....he he..




Green Park



The Japanese Embassy
So I awoke this morning to find reports on the News that London had been covered by the worst snow fall in nearly 20 years. Sadly for me, this was also the day I had intended to venture into the capital to get my VISA sorted out.
As you can see from the photos above, I made it. The bus journey up took about 2 and a half hours, which was pretty good, and I was lucky that the Victoria Line had been unaffected and the Embassy was based near Green Park tube station. For those not au fait with the London Underground system, this is one stop from Victoria.
As I slid and slipped down the street toward the embassy, the usually busy London streets were almost free of traffic. I was only in the embassy for around 20 minutes, then spent some time in the nearby Green Park.
