We trod the boards looking for the best in British culture and art
I did not have the same experience at Borough Market as everyone else. I instantly lost Alex and whoever was with him and so I wondered with Madison as she looked for the bathroom. We walked for about 20-30 minutes (or that is what it felt like at least.) and as we walked I started …

It is my nineth day in London and today I went to Borough Market. I was excited to see Borough market and all its unique foods and shops but, once I stepped into the market, I was met with an ocean of people that were walking through and surrounding all the shops. You could barely …
Yesterday I took a train to Bath, England, and had an incredible time! The city of bath became a spa in 60 AD when the Romans invaded England and built multiple baths and the temple of Sulis Minerva near the River Avon. The hot springs still run though the spa today, and you are able …
The other day I went and visited the Tate Modern Art Museum in Southwark, London. Which is directly across the river from St. Paul’s Cathedral. The first thing I learned when entering the museum was that it used to be the Bankside Power Station. It generated electricity from 1891 to 1981. Thirteen years later, Swiss …

The other day we had the opportunity to see the play Dancing at Lughnasa at The National Theatre. I… did not care for it. I think the set of the show was absolutely fantastic but the writing was uuuh I did not care for it. The stage was like a small world and I was …
The first show we saw on our theatre tour of England was Dancing at Lughnasa, a play by Brian Friel produced at the Royal National Theatre. But before we got to see the show we had to make it to the theatre, and the walk there was a lot of fun. We took the underground …
It is my second day in London, and it was quite eventful. We toured around the city in a coach bus, and I got to see so many beautiful and historic places and buildings. Such as The Tower of London, The London Bridge, Big Ben, and The London Eye. Unfortunately, my jet lag was still …

Last night we saw our first show at the National Theatre. The theater was smaller than I thought it would be. Also the color of purple that the seats were so cool to look at. The seats were also comfortable which was a plus. I also really appreciate how cold they kept the theater during …
