st paul's & the city


After finishing up the walk to Kensington, Shane and I hopped a Tube across town to explore the area East of St Paul's Cathedral. As many times as I've walked around St Paul's, I've still never been inside, so I'm putting this high on my list of things to do while in London. We wandered over to Samuel Johnson's house, which I'd visited in 1997, when I was a graduate student doing some research at the British Library.

Our next few walks also took us around St Paul's. One of the most interesting was one that took us through some very small and out of the way alleyways and onto the properties of several of the old City Livery companies. We also got an up-close view of the Gherkin.

Here are a couple more photos of St Paul's.
