Tube Entrance?

London, England

As we walked to the tube station we passed a door with this statue on each side.  I thought that maybe it was an old entrance way to the tube station, which seemed strange, makes you wonder if you should enter the station?!?!  Ha! Ha!  But, a few days later my son explained that the London Dungeon use to be there and that it has been moved up the street.  OK, that is better and having said all that, I think it’s kinda cool!

On our tour with Roby Parisi​, she took us along the River Thames. There we saw some of the older buildings in London and some of the newer ones. In this photo we see the older and the modern with The Shard on the left, which was completed in 2012 and is the tallest building in the European Union.

St. Paul’s Cathedral

London, England

We went on the BEST tour ever of London with our friend Roby Parisi​, GRAZIE Roby!! I wanted to go by St. Paul’s Cathedral because one of my great-great-grandfathers (5th, I believe), Sir Christopher Wren, was the architect of this beautiful church. Construction was started in 1675 and it sits on the highest point in London. This was the first cathedral built after King Henry VIII became the head of the Church of England taking it away from the Pope. You can see St. Paul’s across the River Thames with Millennium Bridge, a walking bridge, on the right.
