Fleet Street and St. Paul's

This city west walk was much different than the city east walk I went on earlier. This walk was known for London's printing, publishing and newspaper industries also including monasteries, cathedrals & churches. The picture below is of Elise (our group leader) & I outside St. Sepulchre. It was said to acquire this name from the Middle Ages when crusading knights headed off to the Holy Land to fight for the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. St. Sepulchre is the largest city church after St. Paul's Cathedral.

This second pic below was taken outside of Johnson's Court. In here was the house of Dr. Johnson where he worked on the great dictionary. I love the quote below by him that says, "when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life" as I feel this to be true here in London with so much to see and explore. These walks make me realize this to be especially the case as you can't get tired of London when there are so many little & big places to discover!
