On Sunday morning November 14th, I visited Hyde Park in London. Since my English renaissance Folk Dance group is called the Hyde Park Dancers, I had to visit. The group is named from a dance, which is presumedly got its name from this very park.

The lake known as The Serpentine. |

 |
The park is used by joggers. |
I'm not sure what this building is.
| I think this is from the Southwark Bridge looking North. |
 |
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre reconstructed near the location of the original. The reconstruction is supposed to be as authentic as possible given fire codes (i.e. more exits, sprinklers on the thatched roof).
 |
The outside. |

Inside the theatre. |

The stage. Note the designs. |

The guided tour. |
Trafalgar Square. In the afternoon, I visited the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery, both located by this square.
| This reminds of a prototypical city scene if you look at the detailed version. |
 |
| The other side of the square. Note Big Ben in the background. |
 |
| The square is dedicated to a British naval hero Horatio, Viscount Nelson. His likeness is atop this column (about 3 times scale). |

The return trip from Bristol. The workshop I attended took place in Bristol. I didn't get an opportunity to take any pictures there, but here is the return trip to London on November 17th.
 |
Its hard to take pictures from a 125mph train. This is some of the countryside not too far East of Bristol. |
 |
Some sheep are grazing here. |
