That is the only thing I enjoy so far.
Going around London, walking, getting lost, discovering new places, revisiting the tourist attractions.
I also joined Blue Badge Tour the school parents organized. You discover a part of the city with a tour guide along with other moms and after the 2 hours of tour you go for lunch with the moms. I had to miss the lunch part cause I had to be home on time to pick my daughter. But there are copule of places I have to try such as ...
First we met at St. Paul's Cathedral. We did not go inside and we started walking around it. He took us to Blackfriars which was the street behind the main street where St Paul's Cathedral. There was a quite court and he showed us the houses there which were affected by the war. He talked about the structure of those houses. Then took us another court which as white buildings and nice and clean and how he talked about us cock fights and how cock pit came from (from the arena where the cocks got fighter, a small round area. They used to be in the pubs and there was a pub was called with same name and has cock statue.
In the city of London we walked to Bridewell Theatre. You can have your lunch here, bring your own food and watch a theatre which is great, our tour guide said when he used to be a banker he would come here in his lunch break.
Then he took us to gin pub where they make gin and famous for that, it looked very nice with the machine and big inside and bar. They have many many different types of gins. I shared the pictures of it on my instagram page.
Then he took us to St Bride's church and how the wedding cake shape come from this church. It does look like wedding cake layers on layers and the guy (can't remember his name) wanted to have a nice gesture for the bride and groom so decided to have many layered wedding cake inspired by the shape of the church. Funny enough this chorus where the weddings took place mainly.
Then we walked towards Fleet Street.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) and his famous cat HODGE! This guy created the first English to English dictionary and he did an amazing job that still we use his descriptions. One of his house called Dr. Johnson's House is near where the cat statue is, he said sometimes they have candle lit events in that house and it is a must try experience.
"Sir, when a man is tired of London he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
He showed us The Old Bank of England pub which is famous with its steak pies and he said you have to try, the ladies tried the food at lunch and they said it was good. It has amazing big high feeling decorated inside anyway, you have to see it,
