So apparently in England, they don't call it "booting," they call it "wheel-clamping" -- which makes sense, they couldn't very well call it booting when the trunk of the car is the boot.
The last couple days I went walking around the area near Bloomsbury, King's Cross, and Inns of Court. I just kind of ran into this street. Thought it was kind of cool. Sounds like a scene out of a Garden of Eden play.
Over the years, a lot of great minds have lived there, so you see blue circular plaques everywhere on the houses where they lived. Such as, Charles Darwin.
This is where the first anesthesia was used in London.
I love how all the buildings have chimney pots of them.
This would be the skeleton of Jeremy Bentham, famous utilitarian, dressed in a suit, with a wax head on top. Not at all creepy...
A London college campus.
The statue of Ghandi in Tavistock Square
Me feeding pidgeons!
This was so funny. There was this little old lady feeding like three squirrels running up and down a tree, and afterwards this squirrel went and stuffed it in the ground under a leaf, and then went to chase another squirrel off and look for where it buried its nut.
You can't really tell in this picture, but that white blur is a pidgeon that was entirely determined to sit on this man's arm.
A statue of Newton at the British Library.
Also at the British Library, they had a whole circle of these rocks with human forms emerging.
St. Pancras station is an excellent example of Gothic architecture.
And also looks cool inside.
And has a random parting statue.
Interesting cab design
For some reason, everywhere you look in London, there always seem to be cranes somewhere.
I actually really enjoyed walking around some of the quieter London streets for a change.
