UK Trip: London 8

I went for a full day of touring in London on this day. The weather was quite pleasant, so I decided to take the day and do the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge, which are both right beside one another.

Yes, this is the new part of the tower. ;)

If I am not mistaken, the egg shaped building in the background is a government building?

Hmm... where have I seen these windows before? Maybe at a certain school in Toronto...? >:D







Also, I want this mans jacket. Seriously.

On fridays we dry the pink and purple laundry.

A book Hermione would be proud of! :D

Just in case you need to send your toddler into battle...

Some of my props friends would enjoy the details on these ancient weapons.

Ok. Ravens are the size of chickens. I did not know this. They are also carnivorous? I WAS VERY SCARED.

And later in the afternoon I decided to tour the Tower Bridge. But first I ate icecream.


















They look like feet...

That lego model is probably worth as much as it cost them to build the bridge in the first place.


My steampunk loving friends would enjoy seeing the system used to raise and lower the bridge.

Then I went over to the Serpentine, on the request of my mother, but I was unable to find the Gallery on this day... As I found out later, it was past the bridge I saw in the distance.

Those unpatriotic geese! What are you doing in England!?

I hightailed it over to the Theatre district to eat a quick dinner before my show (I bought tickets earlier in the day for Wicked) only to find out purely by coincidence (the couple beside me in the restaurant was going to the same show) that the theatre was actually by Victoria station!!! Aaaaah! Panic! I booked it over there with minutes to spare!

AND IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! >:D
