London... What's a freakin' Beefeater anyway?

 Next stop on les Tour des Binghams: London.

 Maddie is the ultimate Royals watcher.  Every store we saw that had Wills and Kate memorabilia we had to stop.  Oh, and not just for her.

 Can you spot Clay?




Parliament and Big Ben.




 
 After a ten minutes of me complaining about walking, this is where it got me!




 We loved all the names of pubs we saw in the city.  Chris and Clay found this one for us to eat at.  Re-built in 1667 after the fire, the oldest pub in London, its called Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese.
Here is a list of other fun pub names we saw:
The Hung Drawn and Quartered
Hoop and Grapes
Prince of Whales
The Wheelbarrow
Elephant and Castle
The Elephant's Head
Bag O' Nails no.6
