"Waling the Walls of Londinium"

This is a statue of Emperor Trajan. He is most commonly recognized for his work on the Roman Wall and expansion of his Empire. Behind the Statue you can see remains of the wall that have been uncovered!
This is the former Port of London Authority building (this is where much of the Sea Trade of the world was controlled). Surrounding this building are a few other cool things, such as a monument honoring the Merchant Seaman killed in World War I.
This statue is called "Crutched Friars". It is located next to Jewry street...a street that gets its name because it was the one place in London where Jews were allowed to reside during the 17th century.
First Skyscraper built in London.



This Building behind us is called"Christ's Church" designed by the ever famous Christopher Wren. It was pointed out that many features of the Salt Lake Temple were derived from the design of this building, such as window configuration.

Just outside the Museum of London!

Well that's all for this post. I am working on another post right now that gives a little update of my week...it's a good one, so get excited, ha haCheerio!
