London 25&26/10 Part 3 -- LAST BATCH.

I felt posh.

Does it look like the front of Gringotts Bank? That's because it is. They filmed Harry Potter in this bank. IN THIS BANK.

Looks fairytale like. It's London Bridge!


Sliced Onions.

I'm jealous of this seagull. Look at him, just sitting there, floating. Chilling on the River Thames like it's no problem.

More of London Bridge.

Through London Bridge.

BELFAST. Oh and that weird looking building is the most controversial building. Ever. [don't ask me why because i forgot].



It's blurry but I just wanted to show it. SHERLOCK HOLMES.

I HAD TO PAY TO USE THE RESTROOM.




I wandered around Embankment Gardens because I had so much time to kill. But I was also exhausted by then, afternoon-ish. But it was peaceful there.





The original Queen Mary!

Wanted to fit London Eye with Big Ben, haha.






Whenever I see a squirrel, I always mutter "To catch a squirrel" to myself...

There is no explanation of this statue AND I WISH THERE WAS.

You don't need a watch in a city like London-- just look up and the clock is on a building.

For the London Bombings.

A tree, a tree! A special tree..

To think, at at least one point in her life, the Queen stood in the same place I did, to admire this tree. AWESOME.

On this bridge. Forgot what it was called..

Dinner!

High class napkin.

High class appetizer.

BREAD AND BUTTER YAY.

High class pasta.

Posh apple tart. Whee.

A couple hours later, on a whim I decided to visit Wembley Stadium. Such a terrible pic, I didn't know how to work the camera for night shots. But OH MY GOSH THIS IS WEMBLEY STADIUM.


Will be back here for McFly. fdlkhagldksajflhglskjafjslkj

Bakewell tarts are well good. And baked well...


On the road to Kensington Palace..

Debutante's Balls happened here. It happened every year, and girls coming of age lined up for it. Wow history is amazing.


Yeah, it did rain.

The movie with Hugh Grant. That's all.


Where we had our pub lunch. :)

CP: "Get it get it get it get it get it." Julia: "... I guess I'll get it." Fish and chips = really good. That was a fun lunch.

I parted ways with everyone and had to ride the tube again.

And that's that. Went back to the still-life portrait that is Portsmouth. But here are pics that people from Oxford took. They were great to me, and I'm really glad I met them. They, as well as our amazing hosts John and Val Halsey, made my first London trip a little more special.
