Loved this sign for a fish restaurant- Apparently the Brits are a little more clued-in to Thanksgiving than we give them credit for.
Unlike the lame popsicle stick and cardboard model one of your classmates did in high school, THIS Globe Theater is life-size, and the real deal. Well, as real-deal as it can be. The real one burned down a long time ago. But this one was constructed using the old methods, and very near the spot the old one was located in. Surprisingly, it was kinda hard to find. We didn't have enough time to take the tour or attend a play, but both are offered. Same as back in the day, the "groundlings" stand on the ground (no seats), pay less, and have the best view in the house- sometimes even being able to interact a little with the players on stage.
Kristin on the Millenium Bridge. We called it the "Harry Potter Bridge," to Kristin's great consternation, because it was the bridge that was destroyed by the bad wizards in one of the movies. Notice the Tower Bridge far in the distance.
Me on the Harry Potter Bridge with St. Paul's in the background.
Kristin enjoys tea and scones and cream for a light snack to tide us over. We liked this restaurant (simply called "Tea") so much, we went back to it. It was like a scaled-down British-style Panera. It was right next to St. Paul's- perfect to let our feet relax after walking around and climbing up and down the cupola.
