Photos from England...more to come later.

Westminster Abbey
The London Eye
Me and Westminster. You can't quite grasp how HUGE this place is until you're right up next to it.

Hmmm. Why do you think they call it "Big" Ben?

Oliver Cromwell

The Union Jack flying proud over Westminster

Westminster

The Imperial War Museum. This is a very cool place. I spent the better part of four hours wandering around in here.

Russell Square Tube Station

Warner Street. Tough neighborhood, lol.

Had a pint here. It's a bit pretentious and proof that Yuppies still exist!

The Duke Of York. I had a few pints in this fine establishment. The had a help wanted sign on the door the said "Perfect English Required". I had to go in and ask if they would hire an American!

The Thames looking toward the Tower Bridge.

I Eat Rubbish!

Dogs on the Thames.

St. Paul's from the Millenium Bridge.

The dome of St. Paul's and a statue commemorating the fire brigades that helped save it during the Blitz.

One of the most enduring images from WWII. St. Paul's during the Blitz.

Statue in front of St. Paul's
St. Paul's Catherdral. Unfortunately I was too late to get to go inside.

Old Bailey. It must have been a little intimidating walking through these doors.
Straight and to the point!
Yep. Had a drink here! Right across from Old Bailey.
Inside the Viaduct Tavern

Old Bailey
Where ever you find a church, you find a pub.

The Three Kings Pub. Somehow I don't think this is the original sign.

A solid gold clock in the British Museum. Apparently, when this clock sounded the hour, the guns would roll out of the ports and fire.

The library in the British Museum. This was actually my favorite room because it smelled of old books.
