Fall Tourists

Inside Westminster Hall, built in 1097. Near the base of a stair, close up of mason marks made by someone 910 years ago, A shot from a far to give you the sense of scale






Clock Tower to Westminster Palace



Harley Davidsons riding past Westminster Abbey




Westminster Abbey (a church complex parts of which were built in 900, but the building in the photo was 1245)
Hyde Park gardens

British Library (like the US Library of Congress, only much much older stuff)
We used to walk past this MG in our neighborhood everyday but it is gone now (hoping that it is in a garage somewhere)
old Jewel Tower (built 1365)





The foundation of this relatively 'new' wall is a 1500-year old roman wall. The bottom darker part closest to the water is the roman wall. It was common to use older stuff as foundations in old London
