London and Vicinity: One of the World's Foremost Cities and Quaint Surrounding English Countryside Areas

 

AAE recently visited the UK and London and surrounding areas. London is a modern city and one of the world's financial capitals that has history dating back to Roman eras. 


Our accommodations were in a town about 23 miles south of London called Lingfield. It is in the Tandridge district of Surrey, England. It features buildings that date from the Tudor period and is set amid a lush countryside. 

The resort we stayed at was at Lingfield Park, which is an equestrian racing venue that also offers golfing. The beautiful greenery and fresh, clean air made for a perfectly relaxing setting. 








Whilst on our stay in England, we were able to take in an amazing concert at London's Royal Albert Hall, one of the world's foremost performance venues. The show was broadcast live on BBC TV and radio as part of its Proms series of performances and featured Carnegie Hall's National Youth Orchestra Jazz ensemble, led by artistic director and trumpeter Sean Jones. The ensemble consists of 22 of the most outstanding teenage musicians from across the USA. On this European tour, the group is joined by Grammy Award-winning vocalist and composer Dee Dee Bridgewater.
