Our seminar group headed down toward the second visitation to the Bank of England Museum

I don't know what building this is, but it's taken from the entrance to the Bank tube station

The entrance to Bank tube station. This is where we exited to the Bank of England Museum.

The Brits know how to advertise cause-related marketing. This would never make it in the States.

I took this walking back from the London Stock Exchange. This picture was really for Yaa.

A nice shot of St. Paul's Cathedral

Lord Horatio Nelson - The Brits seem to have a thing for putting important people on pedestals. The height of the pedestal must dictate how important the person was.

The entrance from Buckingham Palace

This is as close as we were able to get to 10 Downing. Apparently they've now gated it off to the public.

A rane buddy of mine lived in London for a year. He recommended to me The Bricklayer's Arms as a pub to go to.

My rane buddy also recommended to me this beer. According to him, if I brought him back some, he would pay me double. It tasted very much like a light stout.

This gentleman, Paul, came up to me, "'Ey mate, wo'n't t' fight me?" It was harrowing until I realised he was looking to fight anyone who would take his offer. He found no one.
