Finally there... Late, but there,  It was the first time I had a sky view tour of London before landing.  Cool!!  There was a lot of aerian traffic so the commandant had to turn around a little bit before landing. 
We found our way with the tube to our accomodation on Turk's Row.  Keren our greeter was there and after a brief introduction to the facilities, she left us at our home for the next 11 days.
We arrived exausted, but we didn't want to lose a day in London, so as soon as we have been ready, we have been on our feet and go.  What about jetlag?  Well, we slept in the plane for about two hours (not straight, of course) but we didn't want tireness to win on us, so we fought and it is the good thing to do.
First, let me tell you about our accomodation.  We rent a flat in Chelsea: 2 bedrooms (adequate size), kitchen (very small) living room (small) and a bathroom.  It is clean and in a beautiful neighborhood.

Today, we did what I call The Royal Tour: Buckingham Palace, St-James Park, Trafalgar square, stopped for a lager, Jubilee bridge, South path, Westminter bridge, said hello to Big Ben and that was it.
Then, we went for a pizza, did the grocery at Waitrose and goodnight, we are off to sleep.
