Bankside and Southwark

This walk made me feel like I was in more of the historic London. It was a really smoggy day, and we walked by lots of buildings that were covered in dirt and grime built up from over the years. The oldest pub in London, The Anchor, was by this dark alley under a bridge that was ultra gloomy, and it led straight into the crowds, interesting smells, and arrays of unusual food of borough Market. We tried the grilled cheese sandwich that everyone's been talking about and it was quite good. I saw a damascan falafel place; is that damascan like Damascus? But it was funny seeing the Globe Theatre and the huge banner of Shakespeare's face when we were at his old house just yesterday. I loved walking over the tower bridge. It was my first time to cross it. This was fun walk.
