Who Cares About Australia's Embassy?

Below is a pic of Australia's embassy? Why do I care? I don't, but apparently Harry Potter fans do because some scene uses one of its facades.

Blurry but Important

Below is the location of the first bar to serve Guinness outside of Ireland. Interesting and perhaps untrue but a neat tidbit shared by our guide.

The Great Fire

Below is a monument of the GREAT fire. It started in that location and while taking nearly everything out was apparently a blessing in disguise as it stopped the plague and in effect sanitized the city.

Where Ms. Middleton became a Mrs.

Westminster Abbey...THE church. Every royal except for three ( or something like that) has been married in there.

Hugh Grant

So we didnt see Hugh Grant, but we believe he was on his way to court regarding the phone tapping scandal. See all the news vans?

Ben Pokin an Eye

Wish it wasn't so dreary but that's the way it is out here. Also it was like 830 in the a.m.

Additional pics of big Ben, parliament and the London eye below. By the way, the London eye was supposed to be only temporary. So much for that! Our guide joe, hates the London eye.

Hop On, Hop Off

We took one of those hop on and hop off buses. Super great idea to learn cool facts and get a lay of the land. The next few posts will be random pics we took from up on the bus. It was friggin cold by the way...
