London


On Gabriel's Wharf, across from Big Ben


That's a real guy. He walks around sometimes.



A glimpse of the London Eye



A guy dressed in the same reptilian pattern rides the big bike and that makes the little bike pedal.



We ate English fish and chips here, at an appropriately-named restaurant: The Wharf.


Thames River



St. Paul's Cathedral


London taxis - they really all look like that



Baker Street Station - World's first tube station
221B Baker Street
Past location of the Apple Boutique
Past location of the head office of Marks and Spencer
Lloyd's Bank - Baker Street was the branch robbed in 1971 (the robbery that The Bank Job is based on)

Weekend trip

Callie, Mag, Tracy, and I are going to London for the weekend! We are flying out Thursday night and arriving in London 1.5 hours later. We plan on spending the first night in a hostel or motel and then staying at Mag's cousin's flat for the remainder of the trip. We fly back to Cork on Monday morning around 6. I'll be posting some pictures! :)
