Destination: London, England

We begin at the remains of the City’s Roman wall, where we talk about London’s emperors, followed by kings and rulers (Saxon, Danish, and even Viking) that have led the City until a man from France came on the scene, William I. He is responsible for building The Tower of London. The Tower has had many uses through the years, including a fortress, prison, mint, and a few other things. It is situated next to the Thames River where we discern the difference between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Later we travel past a church that goes back to the 600s and has American connections, to a pub aptly named, The Hung, Drawn and Quartered! Next we stop at buildings with scars from the fiery past of London. There is also a stop at the quaint Victorian market and finally we stop in amongst the towering buildings of the 20th and 21st centuries with very British nicknames like the Inside Out Building, the Cheesegrater and the Gherkin! Whew! 2,000 years in just 1 hour!
