all about London

- before i get into London, i wanted to tell anyone reading this that if you click on 'The Shalimar' link on the left side of this page you will see most of the reviews of our show and some brilliant behind-the-scenes tomfoolery that took place in Edinburgh. check it out, its worth it. -

ah, foggy London Town. after the full month in Edinburgh came to a close, marissa and i took a 9-hour bus ride through the beautiful countryside of Scotland and into the relatively flat landscape of England. for the first 2 days marissa and i stayed in an excellent little hotel in Kensington, a pretty posh neighborhood southwest of Hyde Park. in the evenings we met up with my second cousin John Brady who is working in London for the summer. by day we walked the streets for hours on end and saw every stereotypical tourist stop along the way. here are a few highlights:




a 'guard' outside of the Cavalry Museum



Westminster Abbey


Big Ben



Buckingham Palace



the last 3 days of my trip i stayed with a young actress from london by the name of hannah. her mum was on holiday so we stayed in her glorious little house in north london, ate nachos, and watched weird movies. while hannah was at work i walked about and tried to catch some things that i missed along the way at a more relaxed pace.


St. Pancreas station

harry potter anyone?
(Kings Cross Station)
221b Baker St.
Office of Sherlock Holmes

geese in Regents Park

some bob marley on the south bank



the last night in town me, hannah, and my cousin john met up with hannah's sister and a couple friends on a boat on the River Thames for some drinks and chips. we were lured in by the London Eye and the potential for some great views. check it out.
