St. Paul's Cathedral 

The next stop after the Tower of London was St. Paul’s Cathedral. We had passed this before on the way to the Tate Modern on our second day here, but it was too late then to go in. Today, we walked in and climbed up to the top of the dome. Here, 200 feet above the ground, you could see for miles all around. This was one of the best parts of the trip so far.

At the top of St. Paul’s the day was still sunny, but dark clouds were rolling in from the west. By the time we had climbed down the stairs, it had started to rain. We ate lunch at a crepe restaurant in South Kensington and ran up through the rain to the Natural History Museum.
