This is the Horniman at Hay’s. It’s a pub and restaurant in London, directly opposite of the Tower of London.
The lady in the photo was waiting out a rainstorm, but we’d rather think of her as being someone who took the name of the restaurant seriously and was looking for a hot date — because just like politicians, sometimes, it’s just better to re-imagine the facts.
While in London, we noticed these mobile garbage collection units outside of some of their McDonald’s. We assume that they actually pay employees to go out and find the trash that their customers discard on the floor of the neighborhood that surrounds their McD’s.
What a WILD concept! Such a shame McD’s doesn’t employ such practices here in the States. You know, trying to be a good neighbor and all. Instead, we live with the filth of McD’s until the wind picks it up or the rain washes it down into sewers.
The New York City Subway System and London’s Underground are vastly different in nearly all categories. From what we gathered, the Underground is cleaner, more reliable, more technologically advanced and far more expensive that our system is here in New York. But one thing appeared to remain the same to us: the riders. The riders on both sides of the pond are an eclectic mix of people who are simply trying to get from Point A to Point B in a quick and efficient manner — sometimes with giant stuffed animals.
We found our nail-biting friend riding with Marmaduke on the Tube. He was bringing Marmaduke along as a gift for his five-year old sister — at least that’s the tale that an overly chatty, slighty crazy lady, told us after Marmaduke and friend exited the train.
While climbing up to the top of London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral, we spotted this nicely shaped square down below.
It’s Peternoster Square and the rain thankfully washed away the hoards of annoying French tourists.
In between the scores of obnoxious and rude French tourists, we spotted two Americans in London…
God bless America!
