London - Part 6

Carnaby Street near Picadilly Circus - lots of sports stores.




On Saturday we visited the British Library - I was curious whether they used Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress. But I couldn't actually get to any books inside the library. Everything was kind of stacked away. Great for research and for scholars, tough for tourists! It is lovely inside, though - wide, open. They have a wonderful exhibition room with old manuscripts by the likes of Shakespeare and Austen, as well as original Bach, Beethoven, etc. Very cool!








These are pictures of the Tower of London. By the time we got there, it was 5pm (closed at 6pm) and it cost 16 pounds to enter - that's over 30usd! So I took pictures of the outside for free.
