The Old Bailey, St Brides and Dr Samuel Johnson's House
















After St Paul's we continued our tour and went to The Old Bailey, where Dipesh held fond memories of past experiences - say no more!

We carried on to St Brides Church, which apparently is where the wedding cake took it's inspiration of being tiered. You learn something new every day!

Inside St Brides we went into the crypt below the church and saw the Ancient Roman road, which was uncovered when a World War II bomb exploded on the site in 1942.
Finally, we visited Dr Samuel Johnson's House, just off of Fleet Street. He is famous for writing the 1st ever English dictionary and you can still see a statue of his cat out in the courtyard.
Andrew and Dipesh took the opportunity to dress up in some period hats, whilst in the house to truly immerse themselves in the experience - Whatever!!!
