Mon June 17 - 21:00 (London)

I walked all the way through Hyde's Park and took the tube north to St. John's where I headed towards Abbey Road. It was close to the underground stop. I took some pictures of the street, the Abbey Road sign, and the Abbey Road Recording Studio, where I saw a London Philharmonic Orchestra bus in the driveway.

There was a hippy-dreadlock guy offering to take people's picture at Abbey Road so he took a few of me. He said he was doing it for free but I gave him a pound out of thanks.

I went back to Victoria to drop off my purchases from Harrods. Then I walked over to the London Eye and got a ticket. It was a great view of the city. Definitely something everyone who is in London needs to do if they have the time.

On my way back, I tried to see if Parliament was open. A security woman told me that they do tours every Saturday but anyone can go in when the House of Commons was in session, which is was. I went through security and walked into Westminster Hall. The Westminster Hall and Big Ben were the only parts of Parliament that survived the 1666 fire (?-sometime around then).

I thought that was interesting. I sat in a glass incased upper section of the House of Commons and listened to some Members of Parliament (MPs) arguing about a new law they were trying to pass.
