Alright, so, Thursday:

I pretty much sat in my room doing research on what I'd like to do before I leave until around 2:30. After that I caught the tube down to Waterloo and walked this route:

a) Waterloo
b) BFI IMAX
c) Somerset House
d) Royal Courts of Justice
e) St. Paul's Cathedral
f) London Bridge
g) The Tower of London
h) Tower Bridge
i) HMS Belfast
j) The London Bridge Experience
k) The Golden Hinde
l) The Clink Prison Museum
m) Shakespeare's Globe
n) Tate Modern
o) The Inside-Out Theatre at the Terrace Bar and Food
p) The London Eye
q) Waterloo

As you can imagine, the route I took was similar to this but not exact; for instance, I walked along the Thames instead of along the road to go between the London Bridge and the Tower of London. Other than that it was very similar though.

Here's the day's photos and videos!

This is a fun little rooftop that keeps drawing my attention just across the street from the Waterloo station, at the bus stop:

After this I was pretty exhausted so I went back to the flat, stopping by Sainsbury's on the way for something quick to eat, and then went to bed!
