157. Holmes Statue
“No Shit Sherlock!”
158. Sherlock Museum
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to go to this museum.
159. Abbey Road
The street sign for the famous street where Abbey road studies and where the most famous zebra crossing (from The Beatles Abbey Road album) are located. Everyone was wanted to get pics of the zebra crossing or the studio but I saw no one else taking pics of the street sign.
160. Beatles Crossing
When we finally got here we were the second tourists there. The two before us were oriental students with all this really cool camera equipment taking pics of themselves crossing the road. They even mooned walked across the street, which was really funny. I think that is what one of them is doing in this pic.
161. Abbey Studios Barricade
Past visitors have wrote a bunch of sayings on the barricade. It was neat reading some of them.
162. Crossing
A different angle.
163. Studio Marker
The studio is number 5 Abbey Road.
164. The Studio
This is where all the magic happened. Just imaging all the other great artists that have recorded here.
165. Crossing 2
Yes, another pic. But this time no one is on it.
166. Yet Again
167. Entrance to the Studio
168. Entrance
What is really cool is that the day we went to Abbey Road Studios is the same day that we came across Paul McCartney in Hype Park.
169. Crossing 3
A closer pic of the crossing. I also took video of me crossing the street. I thought I had a pic of me on the street but I guess it’s just video. By the time we were done a lot more tourists had began to show up. I think two locals were drinking outside their apartment and thinking to themselves “Here comes some more crazed fans.”
170. Hodgson
I can across another person’s famous house. I’ve never heard of this person, but that fact that my last name is on it was cool.
171. Changing of the Guard
The guys in red are the guards.
172. Changing of the Guard 2
Walking towards the gates.
173 Changing of the Guard 3
A crappy pic of them approaching the gates. In an attempt to get better pics I would extend my arm into the air. There was just too many people in the way.
174 -176. Changing of the Guard
177-179 Guys On Horses
180. Opened Gates.
181-186 Time to Go
I think the whole changing of the guard took between 30 and 45 min. Will all the soldiers and hooray its funny that they only leave one or two soldiers behind. I guess that’s why its called the Changing of the Guard not Guards
187. On a Double Decker.
We went on a Double Decker tour bus on our last day in London.
188. ?
This is a statue of some guy. It was high up on a building so I thought being this close to it on the bus was really neat. The guide said who it was but I forgot now.
189. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese.
A pub where Voltaire, Dickens frequented.
190. St. Paul's Cathedral
The front to the Cathedral where Diana was married. I’m on a moving Bus hence the not so great pic. We were too lazy to walk to this side when we were on foot the first time we were here.
191. The Great Fire
Monument to the Great Fire of London.
“On Sunday morning, the 2nd September 1666, the destruction of medieval London began. Within 5 days the city which Shakespeare had known was destroyed by fire. An area of one and a half miles by half a mile lay in ashes; 373 acres inside the city walls and 63 acres outside, 87 churches destroyed (including St. Paul's Cathedral) and 13,200 houses. In all this destruction, it is amazing that only 6 people are definitely known to have been killed. However, it seems likely that the actual death toll was much higher. In destroying the close packed houses and other buildings it is also likely that the fire finally put an end to the Great Plague that had devastated the city in the previous year - killing 17,440 out of the population of 93,000.”
192-194. Tower Bridge.
195 &196 The London Dungeon
An interactive tour through the dark history of London with actors. Unfortunately we never had the chance to go, but we did have a chance to go the Edinburgh one. It would have been nice to experience the Jack the Ripper part of the London.
197 –199 Tower Bridge
Going over the Bridge on the Double Decker Bus.
