Fleet Street and St. Paul's

This walk was really fun.  After a long (but awesome) morning at the Royal Gallery, it felt really great to walk around and find all of the landmarks in this walk.  We started at St. Paul's station and were able to see St. Paul's Cathedral right away.  It was beautiful.  The grounds with all the beautiful flowers, the architecture, the sheer size of the cathedral--all of it made me really excited to get a tour of the cathedral that afternoon.

After that, we walked through what seemed to be the business part of town.  We saw lots of office buildings and people in suits.  It was fun!

We also some beautiful old buildings, including the King's College Library.  It was stunning!  One of my favorite things about London is the mix of old with new.  Beautiful, historic buildings stand right next to Modern, industrial-looking ones all over town and the contrast is awesome to note.

We also passed Dr. Johnson's house--he wrote the dictionary!  That was cool.  We finally ended up back around St. Paul's Cathedral again, where we met the whole group for a tour.

I was behind the lens in this picture, but here's the rest of the walking group outside the Cathedral!
