squirmelia | Westminster Cathedral

During my lunch break, I visited Westminster Cathedral and got a lift to the top (it costs £5 to get to the top) and stared at the BT Tower, the Gherkin, Battersea Power Station, the London Eye, Canary Wharf, and so on. Oh, chaotic, beautiful London. After that, I ate lavender chocolate and tried to look up strange chocolate flavours.

My two favourites were the bunker underneath a block of flats nr Neasden that was a reserve cabinet war room in WW2, and a tour that I did of the O2 arena while it was being built (building a major building with no cranes, due to the tent overhead? Tricky!)

The O2 one was obviously a one-off, but the bunker is usually open. It *might* have been called Paddock, or that might be a different one - I forget.

I love the Neasden Bunker! I have been there 3 times before on Open House weekends though, so trying to go to places I haven't been before. My guide book has arrived so I am currently colouring it in.

Last year I managed to fit in 12 places:

Oh, cool. You are clearly somebody who has the hang of this far more than I ever did - I only ever managed two per day.
But, I was always doing it with somebody else, I shall blame them :-P

If you are all organised at wanting to hit lots of places, and fancy some company, let me know :-)
