Headless in London
History is an odd thing.
It’s always around us and slowly developing, but, before you know it you look over your shoulder and see this tidal wave which you need to catch up on.
A few places in Britain let you paddle around gently in this sea of history trying to make sense of it, and the Tower of London is one of those places.
So today K and I went to the Tower of London to wander around and learn about the people who lived, and died, there.“ What I need is more diamonds… ”
Despite it being a sunny day the place wasn’t too packed which was good as we all seemed slow at climbing stairs and needed more time to admire the Crown Jewels. The first time I came here I remember then being inaccessible, locked behind some large cases with people shuffling by, fighting to get a view. Today they sit serenely under glass cases as the tourists glide slowly by on either side thanks to two moving pavements under the watchful eye of a security guard.
