After a riveting British Youth and Culture class today, I firstly booked my trip details to IRELAND!! For July 8th! Yay! Then myself and a couple of other gals in my group went to the National Museum in Trafalgar square, where the Harry Potter premier will be set up coming this July. The national museum had AMAZING works of art--- rooms, upon rooms, upon rooms filled with everything from the 16th century up to the 20th century from artists of the entire world. I saw Van Gogh, Cezanne, Monet, Manet, Rembrandt, and everything in between. In Trafalgar square is some awesome architecture, and not to mention Westminster is right now the road, where we went to an Evensong service in the Abbey. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside, but it was beautiful, and the choir was outrageously good.
Really interesting signage in the Museum of London. (We went to this museum yesterday, but I added it in here instead of as a separate entry)
The Barbican: some like these apartments, some hate them. Either way, there's a lot of algae.
Exterior support beams make for cool artwork.
Trafalgar Square---the soon to be H.P. Finale Zone!
National Museum
Fountain at Trafalgar.
Memorial for Battle at Trafalgar.
Big Lion!
In front of Big Ben---sorry so dark!
Side of Westminster.
Again---the two tower is the front of the Abbey, where Kate walked through on her wedding day! We went though this entry for the Evensong.
We ended the night with a drink and some good pub grub at a place called the Greencoat Boy. Very British pub, very good British food and beer. Cheers!
