London

I will be posting London pictures over the next few days. Keep checking back for more.

Tower Bridge

This is Tower Bridge, not London Bridge. I was the 5th person in line to tour it when it opened.  

Looking back from in front of the Tower of London

View from Tower Bridge of London

Tower of London

This is the Tower of London. I did the whole thing in 2.5 hours. I was not able to take a picture but I saw where Anne Boyle, Catherine Howard and Lady Jane Grey were buried. 

This was my Beefeater tour guide. It was really good and really funny. We are standing next to the Chapel that holds the bodies of the ladies I mentioned before. When there were finding some structural damage year ago they found 1,500 headless bodies buried under the Chapel.

This is where the Jewels are held.

This the sign leading in. They didn't allow picture to be taken inside. They were really amazing.

The block and axe, This was used for the last beheading in the 17th century. The notch taken out is where the head would rest before being removed. 

The Rack, one of the best torture devices ever. It helps to make you taller. 

  

Parliament

I got to watch the House of Commons debate the repeal of the Human Rights Act of 1998. It was interesting. They didn't let you take picture in that area. 

Oliver Cromwell, to not like the guy they have him right outside.

That is Parliament and Big Ben. Big Big was to tall to get in one shot.

The spot were St. Sir Thomas More was condemned to be beheaded. He refused to accept Henry the VIII as the head of the church.

A window that will be installed in the great hall to honor Queen Elizabeth II and her 60 years on the throne.
