Today started off very interesting. I boarded the train heading to downtown and 5 minutes later it was stopped dead on the tracks in the middle of no where! At first, the Londoners acted like this was the norm, so I followed suit. After some time had past, they started to get irritated. There was finally a PA explaining that there was a problem at the central station and the trains were going to be backed up. Soon enough we were on our way and it was like nothing happened. When I got off at the central station and boarded my next train there was a PA apologizing the the delays...it stated..."We apologize for the delay, due to body on the tracks." Pretty scary stuff! Just remember, when traveling by train, when they say stand behind the yellow line, they really mean it!
Well, I finally reached my destination and made my way to the London Bridge. I remembered the nursery rhyme from when I was a child but was curious as to the meaning behind the lyrics so I googled it of course! 😉 If you are curious at all you can click the links below for the full

After snapping a few photos of the London Bridge, I made my way down to St Pauls Cathedral. You will see photos of the Cathedral and the grounds. Enjoy!
