We went on a circular walk this afternoon from Temple station. It is called the Inns of Court because it has 4 ancient inns of courts where barristers first train and then practice. I was glad we got to do this walk on a weekday because we walked right through the London School of Economics and it was neat to see college students passing through between classes or studying at the library. After passing the school, we walked right by the Old Curiosity Shop, which is said to be the oldest shop in all of London and the original shop in Dicken's novel. Kaylee was the fabulous leader to me, Elise, Liz Bevans, Carly, Ramzi and Sharon and the picture below shows all of us outside The Curiosity Shop on the walk.
The other points that stood out for me were seeing the point where the city of London meets the city of Westminster. It said that there used to be a Temple Bar that stood here but was obstructed because of traffic. And last it was neat to see where Shakespeare's 12th Night was first performed at Middle Temple Hall in 1601. I enjoyed this walk and Kaylee was a great leader & efficient leader for our group.
I've heard from everyone that Kaylee did a great job leading this walk. I'm glad you all had a good experience.
ReplyDeletePaige, you've completed 8 walks plus the leading-a-walk requirement. You've really set a fast pace for everyone else to follow. Thanks for being such a good example in the Walks and in everything else going on at the Centre. I'm really glad you came to London with us!
