Thanks to Nathan we went and did the New London free walking tour (tips not included ). We highly recommend it. We got to see the touristy parts of London; Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Parliament House. The great thing about guided tours is the little stories they know about the place.

For instance; pigeons in Trafalgar Square were a huge problem. They tried banning feeding, falcons and other nefarious means. In the end they started feeding them contraceptive laced feeding. Or take the Lions in Trafalgar Square, the sculptor at the time had no access to real lions to base his artwork on. He had plenty of photos and so could judge the aspects of the face well. However the bodies are based on his cocker spaniel, so really they aren’t lions they are Spanions?

The best bit of information however has set me a new goal for our time in London, a fine. It turns out, fair enough really, that urinating in public is not acceptable. If your caught, you will be written an on the spot fine of £50… wait for it…. for….. Wild Pissing!! Now if that is not an awesome souvenir I don’t know what is.
