Just out of interest, following Mikes directions we get to Parliment Square
which is just near Downing street - what happens if you try and go down
there?


You drive into a big metal gate, and the policemen permanently stationed
there take you away, probably under the Prevention of Terrorism Act

The gates are pretty bulky, so if you take a photo as you drive past,
you would get a good photo of the gates, but maybe not No. 10 beyond
them. If you stop the car to get out and take a photo, check first
whether it's a no-stopping zone (I'm not sure).

Downing Street is off Whitehall, so it's not actually on Mike's route,
which goes straight through Parliament Square across the end of
Whitehall, then turn left at Big Ben on to the Embankment.

Have a good trip.

The police don't want you stopping near Downing St. I have been moved on by
police for stopping at about the midpoint of The Mall!
