London (Day 3)

On our final day in London, we decided to go to the Tower of London. It was a bright sunny day and we were there when it opened.  It turns out that during its history, many animals were kept at the tower.  As a recognition of this these wire sculptures were made of some of the animals.  They are pretty impressive, made of what seems to be chicken wire.

There are a lot of ravens roaming around the grounds.

We then took off for where I used to live 14 years ago.  I cannot believe it has been that long.  We got off the tube at sloan square and had lunch at an upscale eatery ( they charged us extra for essentially filtering our tap water) among other extra charges.  We then walked over to Battersea park, where we saw these love birds.DSC_0248
We then had a pint at the Prince Albert (my old watering hole).

And then went by my old flat.

Then it was across the Albert bridge and back to Sloan Square.

Overall a very fun trip.

    Awesome, 21a Anhalt Rd. Battersea, mate!

    Oh, the door survived the drunk-Rob experience.

    And the Prince Albert, too.

    Did you go to the Spar, and more importantly Chris’ Cafe?

      I saw that from google street view that Chris’ Cafe was closed and we didn’t have the time to go by the Spar. Great to see the old neighborhood though!

    Bummer Chris’ is closed … but after 14 years he probably collapsed in to a large pile of bubble and squeak. Mmm, bubble and squeak.
