I'm quite happy with my room. It is small but well equipped: double bed, small refrigerator, safe, hair dryer, trouser press, deep bathtub, morning paper and a full English breakfast.
I haven't figured out how to turn on the TV, but probably won't bother. There is Internet access available from the room, but at $14/night I will pass. I am connecting through a coin operated computer in the lobby.

Written in the Crypt Cafe beneath St. Paul's Cathedral on Monday at 10 AM. St. Paul's is magnificent. They ask that no photos be taken inside & I honored it. There were many tour groups, half of them from Asia.
I walked up to the Whispering Gallery (I couldn't hear the folks on the other side), 259 steps, than on to the Stone Gallery where you can look out over the city. Than on up to the Golden Gallery for a few from 280 feet up. 530 steps!
It was over 560 steps down here to the crypt.
Well, I am cooled off now. Had homemade lemon lime squash
and shortbread. And bought a CD of the choir.

Traitor's gate
Tradition is that if the ravens ever leave, the tower will fall and
the King will die - so their wings are clipped. In the 60s
they were surprised when a baby was born to the ravens. A national
school contest named it Ronald Raven.
White Tower, the oldest part of the Tower of London. Almost 1,000 years
