By the time I left my hotel room on Friday, it had stopped raining and it looked like it might clear up. So, I took advantage and took another long walk. I just sort of wandered a bit taking streets I hadn't taken before. That's how I came across this grand looking building. The sign above the door says "College of Arms" and I had no idea what that meant. Apparently they are responsible for the granting of new coats of arms and they maintain a registry of arms, pedigrees, Royal Licenses and a whole lot more.
I also walked past this pub that looks like it might have been called the Blackfriars at one time. See the friar standing above the door.
Across from the pub I saw this man and horse adorning the side of building. I don't know what that building was but the horse statue looks very dramatic.
I also got some good views of some of those glass buildings that are filling the skyline of The City.
There is a lot of glass in this group.
It's been a fun and educational two weeks. I'll see you all again from home sweet home.
