One of the issues Nancy and I discussed before resuming our travels following the
holidays at home was exploring more nightlife. My guess is there are few places
better to explore nightlife than London. 

Today we planned less than a half-day at the British Museum because we have night
plans. We have theater tickets for Book of Mormon.

We left the British Museum at closing and began our walk toward The Prince of
Wales Theater. As most London walks there is so much to see. Of course, there are
the buildings.

Since I had already climbed 257 steps to the Whispering Gallery of St. Paul’s I
decided to go all the way.

It’s only 119 more steps to the exterior stone gallery.

Great views but the stone rail is high and blocks the view. So, climb another 152
steps for a total of 528 steps from the Cathedral floor and you are standing at the
Golden Gallery.

We avoided the U.S. flu only to be laid low by the London crud. Today Nancy is
keeping Oslo the cat company and I am visiting St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Although the location of St. Paul’s Cathedral has been a place of worship for over
1400 years today’s Cathedral is only 308 years old being completed in 1710. This
church is Christopher Wren’s most famous church design – he and his office is given
credit for designing and building 52 churches after the Great Fire in 1666.

The first church was destroyed by fire in 675, the Vikings destroyed the second
church in 962, the third church was again destroyed by fire in 1087 and the fourth
church was destroyed by The Great London Fire in 1666.
