Couple random ones...

Camden Lock Market



 Westminster Abbey. I attended an amazing service here last Sunday Morning.

 My friend and IUP alum Kayleigh Thadani returned to her hometown here in London. I went to visit her in her South Kent home. This is the view from the roof; thats the top of Parliament and the the Eye way back in the distance.
 She took me to My Old Dutch, and less than ordinary pancake house...
 She got the Hawaiian, I got the Amsterdammer; grilled apples and bacon covered in maple syrup...
 The British Library is just next to Kings Cross St. Pancras and is my new favorite study spot

Protests around town

I've seen two protests... the first was on Westminster Bridge to keep the UK health care system nationalized... (funny, the US is having protests for the exact opposite)...








I also had to go and check out the occupy wallstreet camp. This was a few weeks ago and i just read that they have been given a 48 hour deadline to remove the tents... so i'll have to check back at St. Pauls and see how its turned out.

When I got there, they were having a meeting to discuss whether or not they should allow alcohol to be consumed within the camp. To vote 'yes', show your jazz hands!






Street Performers

One of my favorite parts of London are all the street performers, those passionate artists who see the world as their venue... here are as many as i've taken pictures of... hopefully i can keep adding photos...








GLS took us for a ride on the London Eye. Westminster Bridge was closed for protests, you can see the crowds...










 Buckingham Palace
