Hi! It is currently 9:40am London time and my legs are sore, my back is sore, and my brain is sore. Yesterday was a very long yet information filled day. We went to the Colonizer Muse- I mean the British Museum, and it was full of so much historical artifacts! If I had to pick …

9. Jesus, George, it was a wonder this blog even got posted!
I would say long time no see, but that would be disingenuous. That’s right, I saw you with your little binoculars on a stick, watching me across St. James Park yesterday. Don’t even lie. Anyway. I’m sure all of you definitely know this already, but on Monday the group went to the historic Westminster Abbey …

IT’S A BURIAL SPOT??
West Minister Abby, an iconic burial spot. Apparently, I did not know that. Many of the sites that we have visited, I have heard of, but had no actual knowledge about. I thought Westminster Abbey was the Palace of Westminster, not just the church. So, to my surprise, Westminster Abby is not only a church …
Westminster vs Downtown: Where’s the Better Abbey?
After two weeks in London, I can finally say that I have seen all of the famous landmarks. After walking all over the city, I somehow kept missing one of the most iconic buildings in all of London: British Mcdonald’s! I also went to Westminster Abbey, but they wouldn’t let me bring a burger inside. …

Back in time with shows and abbeys
Last night I saw Back to the Future, which isn’t what I’m talking about today but they had a great slushie machine so it’s worth mentioning. No, what I’m talking about is the more impressive structurally and generally more historically significant thing I did which was visit Westminster Abbey. Perhaps the most stunning site we’ve …
NESWest is the best
Westminster Abbey was a very fun experience for me! Unfortunately before we got there I thought it was a castle for some reason but was politely corrected when we got there. I also had no idea Big Ben was outside of it I thought that was super awesome. It was much bigger in person and …
East Mrs. Adam (I’m so tired)
Westminster Abbey. Arguably the most infamous church in the entire world and reasonably so. This church is a spectacle to look at. The old english architecture is nothing like I’ve ever seen in a building. I’d imagine it’s what drugs would look like if it were a building, it’s that crazy to look at. I …
Coronations, Confessors, and Burials, oh my!
We took a time machine back to the 13th century and visited Westminster Abbey today and discovered that it is quite a hotspot for dead people. As a time capsule in British history, Westminster Abbey is holding grounds of Royal Coronations since 1066, as well as a plethora of memorials and tombs of influential people …

Epic Dead People at Almost Hogwarts with Beer Making Monks.
Well that was the coolest fact I learned today. Was that one of the oldest rooms in Westminster Abbey stored some beer the Monks would make when they resided there. Sounds lit. Now to talk about the famous dead… There were so many memorials of people who contributed greatly to the world at Westminster Abbey. …
