An obligitory [albeit late] trip post!

stoopbeckI finally decided to get it together and make a post about my trip to London. This is the first of possibly more picture-heavy [very, very picture heavy] trip posts. Today we deal with the fun signs!
Heh.
I love how polite this sign is. Not "DO NOT ENTER," but simply "PRIVATE."
Ominous and cool at the same time.
Heh. I liked this one, because really what the heck is a fire plug, but also because when I went to take the picture the guy in the uniform immediately straightened up and put on his noble face, and I didn't have the heart to tell him that I was just going for the sign. So I left a bit of him in it.
A "Beware of Falling Rocks" sign at Salisbury Cathedral.
No bus is complete without its emergency hammer!
In the tube system, there were no "Exits." There were "Way Out" signs.
Found at Stonehenge.
Curses! Our clever plan to rob this building, foiled by the judicious use of anti-climb paint!
A police officer not in uniform can just be ignored.
That's right, Virgina Woolfe's bar and grill. Heh.
Everywhere there were little signs alerting us to the fact that Dickens once lived here, and So-and-so lived there. Here at 221B Baker Street is Sherlock's sign.
And there's the lovely bobby that guards his front door.
And last but not least, my favorite picture of the trip.
More when I get around to it.

And someday maybe we'll get Abby to post hers, too. I really want that one of us at St. Paul's with tuppence. And the group one at Platform 9 3/4.
