After touring the British Museum, we ventured off on our walk around the residential district laid out between the late 17th and early 19th centuries. The main highlights from this walk for me were St. George's Garden, the Great Ormond Street Hospital for sick children and the Charles Dickens Museum. First our picture below is taken at St. George's Garden. This was right past Handel Street where Handel gave performances of his Messiah to raise money for orphans, which I thought was pretty neat. St George's Garden was once the burial ground of St George's Church-it was a quaint little area with some cemeteries inside. The Great Ormond Street Hospital for sick children was a little sad to walk by, seeing sick kids walk inside, but it was neat to hear of the history and the founding of it. Seeing the Dickens Museum right where Charles Dickens lived in 1837 completing 3 novels here was really neat as well. Walking around the streets you could just imagine Dickens living there. It was really special to be on such a historic walk where you could imagine people living in the 17th and 18th century.
