 This is my blog, where you'll find detailed overviews of my London experiences.

Testing, 1, 2...

 :waves:
This is the test run of this to see if I think it's easier to use than simply uploading my albums to Shutterfly and sharing them. I'm not using Facebook because I want the family to see my pictures, too, and Facebook takes so long to upload photos!

Let me know what you think! So far, you'll find pictures of Queen Mary and the surrounding area.

New Additions

 I've just added photos from my first week in London, pictures from the Thames Boat Tour, our outing to Leicester Square and the National Portrait Gallery, and the Bus Tour.

Cheers!

Britt

Take Two

 Photos from Open House London, plus additions to Queen Mary and Local Area are now up!

Welcome to pictureland!

 Hi friends and fam (and random visitors...)! Here you'll find all sorts of odds and ends, i.e. photos that I've taken that I've likely promised to show you all and print off and upload...but haven't. Hopefully, I'll keep this up to date so you can enjoy my travels as much as I'm enjoying them.

NB: Most recently updated albums/added albums will be closest to the top of the page! I'll try to make note on the left (under latest news) when I update and add things as well.

Cheers, darlings!

The Cooperative is a small grocery five-ish minutes from campus, if you walk out the gates and go right towards Whitechapel and The City.

This is Whitechapel!
Queen Mary is on Mile End Road. As the name indicates, Mile End Road designates the area of London that is one mile away from The City (the old London city walls and the newish financial district). Whitechapel is between The City and Queen Mary.

The Blind Beggar
The Blind Beggar
Apparently, this pub was the scene of a mafia-esque shooting in Whitechapel during the...early 20th Century (?). According to our tour guide, it is still notable because it's so hard to get guns in the UK.
