The City Walk

This was a rather interesting walk because it deals mostly with the financial district. We explored this on Tuesday, May 31, and it was in the evening. It was apparent that the work day had ended because the area was rather deserted and closed. It turned out to be a fabulous time to explore the city because we had it all to ourselves. We even got to spin around and dance like annoying Americans in a Guildhall Yard within the walk. It was completely empty and entirely spacious. It was really interesting to see the last of the business employees leaving the buildings and going straight to the pubs. Drinking is a very social and exciting aspect of London culture, and it is amazing to see such a thriving social life. We took some fun pictures in front of the Royal Stock Exchange, as shown above. I was also amazed by Lloyds, as it was composed of several buildings. My favorite was the one that had architecture that reminded me of the Industrial Revolution, but modern. It was very steampunk. I really loved it. This walk was enlightening and rather fun, especially since it felt like we had London all to ourselves.
