Public Art in London - Day 8

Upon returning to London from Scotland, I had some time to explore eastern London. This was an unexpected surprise with the amount of public art - sculptures, impromptu art that has turned permanent, and murals. 

London - Day 5

 A highlight of Friday was seeing Westminster Abbey and attending a service in the late-afternoon.

London - Day 4

Olivia and I visited the Globe Theatre today. The fence had a variety of animal sculptures. Afterwards, we went to Tate Modern and then to St. Paul Cathedral where we climbed up to the top - all 528 steps!

London - Day 2

When we booked the tickets to come to London, we did not know that it was during the time of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. We were able to see rehearsals for the parade that will happen later in the week.

We also went to St. James' Park and saw beautiful flowers and waterfowl. To close out the day, we saw the road of Tower Bridge be lifted to let boats pass.

London - Day 1

Arrived in London. Compared to Scandia, there are a lot of people walking, biking, and using public transportation. A highlight today was visiting The British Museum. The wealth of history and art at the museum far surpasses what I thought would be there.
