My first trip back after vacation was a London trip. I needed to go to the Olympic store and get a few things and I was hoping to go to St. Paul's Cathedral. They were having a service commemorating the 150th anniversary of Hymns Ancient and Modern. Because of the Occupy Movement, St. Paul's was closed to services and the service had been moved to Southwark Cathedral. After we got what we needed at the St. Pancras station Olympic Store, we headed over to St. Paul's to see the protestors.
The whole set up was very clean and organized. The tents were very orderly and there was designated fire lanes, a library, a prayer tent.
After our visit with the protestors, we made our way over the Thames and down to Southwark Cathedral for the service.
While not as big as St. Paul's, the cathedral was still impressive and the music for the service was wonderful!
We tried to get in to see War Horse, but after waiting in the return queue, we did not have any luck so we went over to Covent Garden for a pub dinner. It was a nice evening. The next day, Melissa and I were the talk of the crew with our spiffy London 2012 Olympic Lanyards!
