Bloomsbury

This was such a neat walk! Liz and I went, just the two of us. When we got off at Tottenham Court Road Station, I thought it was going to be a walk in a downtown business area, not a fun residential/small-office building area. It was fun, because we would walk around and look for plaques on the walls, and when we found them, then we would find their names in the book. We found lots of plaques that aren't in the book, which sparked an interest! We saw some of the cutest shops on this walk, specializing in hand-sewn purses and antique furniture--my parents would have loved it! I thought it was neat that Thomas Coram cared so much about the children, and that later on the walk we walked by the children hospitals. We passed a Children's Leukemia office, which touched my heart since my little niece used to live in London and now has Leukemia. And it was fun to walk by a square built for chimney sweeps; it reminded me of Mary Poppins! The graveyard was really neat, and I wonder if that's where we will have class for the graveyard class. My two favorite parts were walking by Dickens' house, since I have been in Christmas Carol multiple times. My other favorite part was getting lost on our way back to the tube from the end of the route. We got lost in the streets, and got to enjoy the streets and environment! Plus, we found "Fancy That of London" where we bought 20 postcards for 2 pounds! Victory.
