We went on a 2 hour walking tour of the city today, where our guide showed us plenty of historical stuff and told us many stories. Many of his tales related in some way to a fire at some point in London's history. Apparently there have been many large fires. This building was the only one on this block to survive the fire of 1648, that statue was built of the man who put out the fire of 1648, this builing was home to the disgruntled parks worker who started the fire of 1723...you know.
Then we went exploring on our own. Ate a club sandwich at a pub next to Niketown, then caught the bus back to our residence. Except we don't know how to use the bus, so we ended up half a mile away across the river, and walked back from there. Went out again later, and came back after walking around our area for a while.
