Day One

The fist place we visited today was Bedford Square. The buildings surrounding it all had beautiful flower boxes and there was a small park in the center. After walking around for a bit we went to The Building Center. We expected to see a model of the city, but unfortunately it had been moved to another location. We explored the displays for a while and then hopped on a double decker bus to get to the Barbican. Here we talked briefly about “brutalist” architecture. The best part of the Barbican was the main plaza. There was a water way lined with plants, fountains, and a restaurant. From the Barbican we went to The Museum of London. The exhibits worked like a timeline telling the history of the city. There was also and interesting tattoo exhibit and a crime exhibit. After exploring for a while we grabbed lunch at Pret and then walked over to St. Paul’s cathedral. We got to climb all the way to the top and the view was amazing. The last stop of the day was a mall where we went out on to the roof and looked over the city.
