#46, #48, #59, #61, #108 and #111

Well I had a very busy midweek in London this week. 6 things off of my bucket list!? really? I am still not sure how all this happened but it was fun.

#46 Walk along the Thames at night

Jodi's favorite thing to do when in London, so I took her suggestion. Almost the best 2 hours of my life.

#48 Visit Cock Lane

Color me immature but I am still convinced this is my favorite lane in London. Stumbld acrossed it 3 years ago while on a ghost tour my mother dragged me on. Found out it is rightly named because it is where the brothels used to be back in the day. It is also the place of the famous ghost scratching fanny of cock lane.

#59 Find the London Stone

"So long as the stone of Brutus is safe, so long shall London flourish"
This little guy is very well hidden. . . kind of. It actually lives in the side of a wall on Cannon street. There are no signs or directions on how to find it you just have to know where to look. In fact I almost walked past it but luckily I did a double take. Many people do not know of the stone but it has been around since Roman times. Like the ravens at the tower it is believed that if this stone is moved or destroyed destruction will fall upon London. During the time of the Romans the stone was the place in which all distances of Britania were measured.

#61 See the Cheshire Cheese

It is a famous pub just off of fleet street. Though it is not the original (that burned down during the great fire in 1666) there has been a pub at this location since 1538. It is believed that famous literaries such as Mark Twain, Oliver Goldsmith, Alfred Tennyson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens were regulars at the Chesire cheese back in thier time. It is thought that Dr Samuel Johnson visited here a lot but that has never been proven- they only think that because he lived around the corner.

#108 Visit the Mini Big Ben

Isn't it cute? I havent been able to find a story as to why it is there, it just is. But it is suppossed to be a copy of the actual Big Ben which is located at the other end of victoria street.

#111 Go to Ye Old Cock Tavern

Again with the immaturity I know, I know but it had a funny name and I had to go there. To be honest I only found this place on friday by accident but now I know where it is located for future refrence. . . right across the street from the royal courts of justice.
