Thursday, June 12, 2014: Fire and Locks

6:27 pm
In the morning, my parents were considering taking a tour of London with a special guide, but it turns out it isn't really kid-friendly. So we sauntered over to the Museum of London.

It was SO COOL!!!!! There were intricate dioramas full of detail and even a short movie about the Great Fire of London in 1666 with a working, electronic model of London that lit up. Here's what it looked like:
There was also a changing, projected diorama: Caesar's camp in Heathrow about two thousand and sixty years ago changes to Heathrow Airport today.

There was also a Victorian walk, to show what that area was like two hundred years ago.

In the shop, I bought an informational sticker book about the Kings and Queens of England. It only cost £6.99!

After that, we went to the Camden Lock Market. So many things! I saw a really cool comic shop with collectible action figures. There was the 100th issue of Doctor Who Magazine and over 25 action figures! There was also a 1963 £195 Dalek! Can you believe it?

If you don't know what a Dalek is, watch his short clip:
