Salisbury Cathedral!
on our way to Wilton House
Us in Wilton House :)
Ofcourse you dont see any pictures in Salisbury Cathedral or in Wilton House bacause it wasn't allowed to take any pictures inside there:s and it was really nice,,
the bus was nice but it was a long ride, but it was all worth it:) the Wilton House was really really huge and had so many lovely sculptures. I loved the architectural design in Salisbury Cathedral from inside and outside, the ceilings were very high!

Details of Westminster Abby My second day was amazing. First, we went to Westminster Abby and visited so many tombs of kings and queens of Britain and many memorials too. I loved it's architectural work a lot. Then we went to the national gallery, we weren't allowed to take pictures there, but I took one picture -which is posted- in front of the gallery's entrance. They had the most amazing drawings and portraits I have ever seen. The best thing that I loved about it was the drawings that had actual 3d work attached to it, which looked amazing. the final place that we visited was the V&A Museum. they had so many wonderful pieces of furniture as you can see in the pictures. I loved the carvings and the hand work, it was all really good.

Banqueting House
The Banqueting House is the only remaining component of Whitehall Palace, and is found at the Trafalgar square end of Whitehall, London. It was built by inigo Jones who built a new Banqueting House at Whitehall Palace for James I, to replace a previous one destroyed by fire. When the Banqueting House in London was completed, it bore no resemblance to anything ever built in England before.
It consists of one great cubic room that served for royal receptions, ceremonies, and the performance of masques. The exterior elevation has three levels: a rusticated base; a first story with a series of windows crowned by alternating segmental and triangular pediments on brackets separated by engaged Ionic columns, and pilasters that are doubled at the ends of the building; and a second story with Corinthian columns and pilasters that correspond to those below, as do the windows (but with straight cornices), and with a garland swag tying the capitals together beneath the flat balustraded roof.
