London Part 2 - Lunch In The Angel!

I went to the Museum Of Natural History. Im not really into this sort of thing, but as it was free to get in i decided to have a wander round.


Then i had a very long walk along the Thames. . .




This polite gentleman waved at me.


I felt rather hungry so i had lunch in the Angel!





I had the beef suet pudding.


I got the tube back to Earls Court.

London Part 1 - The Monument!

I got the train from Leeds, and made use of the free wi-fi (which was rather slow).

I arrived at Kings Cross.
I went for a pint in the Blind Beggar pub in Whitechapel.
The next day, i walked along the Thames and ended up at The Monument.
Here it is!
I went inside and bought a ticket, which was only three pounds!
I climbed the 311 stairs to the top!!
At last, i got to the top!


The view was very nice, but i felt a little dizzy as i don't like heights very much.

Here i am at the top.
Time to go back down the 311 steps...


As i left someone handed me a certificate, which proves i went all the way to the top!
