We trod the boards looking for the best in British culture and art
Oh, Tate Modern. I loved one particular floor, where there were pieces of art that made me think and feel really inquisitive. Everything else, I’m just lost. I walked around and tried to find something that I really liked, and it took a while. There was a whole wall of just a collection of paper …

The Tower of London is, surprisingly, not a tower. It is a castle! Or at least, that’s what I say it is. I thought the Tower of London was just one tall building when in reality, it is a whole establishment. I learned a lot about the Tower of London while walking around and was …
We got to go to the Tower of London yesterday! It was such a cool experience, we got to see the ravens, the crown jewels (thank goodness they were back because the coronation of King Charles was only a few weeks ago), we also saw the armory where all the weapons and armor that were …
On day three of our trip, our group had the privilege of visiting the Tower of London. During our visit, we learned many interesting things about British culture and the history of the old and beautiful tower. When we first entered the beautiful arch way that led into the castle’s grounds, off to the left …
Thursday was a terrible day to wear uncomfortable shoes. When we walked on the cobblestone streets passing the river, it was impossible to look away from the nine-hundred-year-old tower of London.

It gave me the same feeling after I left the 9/11 museum in New York. Emotionally confused. The most jarring …
Yesterday we went to the Tower of London and let me say it was very educational (like legit). One interesting thing I learned about British culture is that, it is known if the ravens at the tower leave “the crown will fall with Britain with it”. Which is why they hold them captive in the …
For our second full day in London, we explored the Tower of London compound which is located on the north bank of the River Thames. To get there, we took the Piccadilly line eastbound to King’s Cross St. Pancras where we switched to the circle line to get to the Tower Hill station. When you …
The Tower of London was a beautiful way to spend the beginning of the day. Seeing a castle in real life for the first time was amazing because my brain never fully comprehended that they were real. I learned about many different armors, the royal beast, executions, and prisoners. There was so much to look …
Here’s some things that happened on Day 3: The Tower of London…I’m gonna blow your mind here…actually a castle. Boom, mind blown. So that was my first time being in a castle which was really cool, it felt like walking through a huge Medieval Times, minus all of the jousting and turkey legs.. My favorite …
