Walking Through the City

My theme for this walk was words. It was interesting to see how the architecture surrounding the signs fit each one perfectly.

In the Old London Alleyway

This was a Youth Hostel but I loved the Latin on the walls. So beautiful

Outside St. Etheldreda's

Give Peace A Chance!

Outside Criminal Justice Court

I'm assuming these are words in some language :)

You know, in all honesty I didn't much enjoy this walk. We went on a Saturday and since it is the business district everything was shut down. Literally EVERYTHING. I kept checking the news through windows to see if there was a National Crisis we missed. I did, however, quite enjoy the theme I chose. For some reason I love the street signs in London and that's where the idea came from. But once I started looking for words, the most interesting things pop out at you. The words "Ye Old Mitre," are so characteristically old looking, I'd assume how they would have been in old London. Contrast that to the graffiti in the window that says, "No War," which is so characteristic of London today. The signs really do tell a lot about the city and I enjoyed discovering them.
