We explored Southwark and found a beautiful Gothic cathedral with touches of ruined Norman. We also saw Shakespeare's Globe Theater, currently being rebuilt. It is hoped that productions will resume by June of '1996. We took a train to the Maze Hill stop for Greenwich and walked up to the observatory on the Prime Meridian. We sometimes used Guide Friday buses which make regular circuits of the city while lecturers on board point out sights of interest and provide historical background.
Tourists can get on and off the buses at any stop.
The ticket for each city includes a discount coupon for other cities. By the time our two weeks had shrunk to a next-day departure it seemed a lot was left undone. Now I look forward to another courier trip. The night before my departure from home to New York, Discount Travel International mistakenly double-booked couriers for the same flight. When in London, check out the college clubs.
