Warning Nerd Alert
Creature got all nerded out (I am pretty sure that's a verb) when when we arrived at Kings Crossing on our way to York because he saw Platform 9 3/4 from Harry Potter.

The Underground
The Underground is London's subway. I love using this method of transportation. It's relatively easy to traverse and very, very convenient.
We did a little recruiting.
While at the Parliament and Westminster Abbey we met some really cool police officers. We traded some swag. One of the officers traded Paul a badge hat for a patch. Since we are short hand, I did a little recruiting.
Tower Bridge
We crossed the Tower Bridge which is one of the most famous bridges in the World. It was built in 1894 and crosses over Thames River.
Tower of London
We spent a few hours at the Tower if London. Little Tim dreams of being a Palace Guard.

It's Fashion Week in London
As we were checking out the sights and sounds of London and because it's fashion week the Regents area was packed with people. In one are we saw a lot of American flags and discovered th NFL has a game here on October 1.
Sherlock Holmes Museum
Gent, Creature and I went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum and stumbled on the Shakespeare Pub
Paul and Brandi
Paul and Brandi went to Stonehenge today and finally took a Bath. They said it was a clear day and both locations were fantastic.
Harry Potter Tour
This morning we spent a few hours at the Harry Potter Tour. I wasn't really excited to go, but pleasantly surprised. Of course Creature LOVED it! I'm surprised he didn't buy everything from the gift shop.

Green Park in Piccadilly Square
We went to a park across from the palace. It was quite beautiful with interesting characters.
Alma, can you guess which pictures we took for you?
Our hotel - Grand London Hotel
We booked our London stay at the Grand London Hotel. It's a rich and seedy history. It seems the hotel was built in the 1850's by Edward the VII for his mistress, Lily Langtry. We had to be relocated to the sister hotel the Park Grand London Hyde Hotel due to construction. We were pretty bummed because the facility was gorgeous and had amazing history.
