Having met an awesome Aussie girl Erin in Oxford, we had decided to meet up later in London as we would both be there at the same time. We had an awesome pub meal out (jacket potatoes!) and went to the Tower of London together which was well worth going in my opinion. Here you can see us with a grumpy tower guard.
The complex itself was fantastic, comprising of numerous towers, buildings, old walkways, traditionally dressed guards, an ancient church (featured to the left below and the oldest part of the tower complex) and even the crown jewels! (Although unfortunately photographs were forbidden)
We also had an excellent view of London bridge from on top of the wall.
There was also a giant museum full of amazing things that we had far to little time to explore (the tower unfortunately closed stupidly early at 4pm and we had arrived at 2, giving us only two hours to see everything)

The guards again (I love their uniforms!)
Wandering the tower complex. It's so much bigger than I thought!
Patrolling guards with big guns. Eek! And of course, awesome architecture.
With all the runnning around and excited exclamations I was making over everything, Erin insisted she take some photos of me to show I had 'really' been to the White Tower. Plus the guard boxes of course! Thanks Erin!
