On Saturday, I started the day off on Oxford Circus for some shopping. After realizing this was a horrible idea on a weekend I headed off to see some churches around London. I first saw All Souls which was built by John Nash, who is the same architect behind Buckingham Palace. After that I headed over to Fleet Street to see St. Bride's Church. The church was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and is the inspiration behind the shape of modern day wedding cakes. After that I walked up and down Fleet Street and found another pretty church. I also found the Twinings store and bought some tea! To continue my day full of sightseeing I found the Staple Inn, which is the last Inn of Chancery. The wooden building survived both the Great Fire of London and the Blitz! I then headed over to the Barbican area of London to find my last church. After taking some pictures of St. Bartholomew the Great I found myself in the Smithfield meat market. It was closed but the building itself was really beautiful. I then ended my day at the Museum of London.
