As you know, she arrived today, and the trooper only took a one hour nap on arrival. That means Melissa beat Meredith, Adam, Matt and Jess in terms of sleep vs London sight seeing on the first day. Roar!
We set out to do the ‘History and Mystery’ walk of the area around Tower Hill. It is relatively close to my home and was new ground for me.
Here we start at Tower of London, where it is rumoured there are ravens, crown jewels, and also lots of wind.
This is trinity house, which was the head organisation for lighthouse keepers and other mercantiles.
At All Hallows of the Tower church Melissa did a brass rubbing of a unicorn and I helped! I thought it was an amazing souvenir.
These sculptures commemorate the end of the trans-continental slave trade and are in the garden of where once stood St Gabriel Fen Church. It was there that I found a labyrinth. Not seven stage.
Leadenhall Market. iPhone does not do it justice.
After visiting three terra cotta demons, Melissa balanced out her shadow side by perching on the stairs of St Michaels church.
Melissa found Bank and the Bank of London.
Last photo stop- St Pauls Cathedral. We also crossed the millennium bridge past Tate modern, Shakespeare’s globe and then ate Indian on my tastecard ( and melissa’s treat- thanks love!)
