Been there many times Steve...A very small wating area with so many people it really is a boring wait & usually a long wait.
As you say trafalgar Sq & the art gallery is just around the corner also houses of parliament,China town & the embankment are all in walking distance so enjoy yourself in the big smoke

When u get there, you've got to take a ticket from the "number" machine ...... a bit like the meat counter at Sainsbury's !
You should be able to work out from that when you'll be called.
Then you can both go & get breakfast.
BTW ... for passport renewal, you need to queue up twice.... once downstairs to submit the form & pay.
Then upstairs to do the biometrics.
They also close at 1pm for lunch (on the dot !), so if u haven't got it all done by then....... then you've gotta return at 2.00pm.
Enjoy !No man is an island, but Barry is

... and remember your special delivery envelope (from the Post Office), so they can post the new passport back to you.

Whats wrong with this picture of me and Mrs Lastlid outside the Houses of Parliament? I don't think we have the right lense Looks like the Leaning Tower of Piza

Off on another jaunt to London Steve? I realise its main purpose on this occasion, is to renew Emma's passport ... but there are sooo many sights to see in the Capital, and I hope you both have a lovely time in glorious .
