Part way through reading this first chapter, I felt inspired to play the soundtrack to the musical Sweeney Todd in the background, to go along with the London theme. I was not entirely positive what most of the things that author A.N. Wilson was talking about at first, but shortly after that I became familiar once again with things I learned in Elizabethan and Restoration Theatre History class; especially the things about the Tudor age. I’ve become increasingly interested in the life and times of Queen Elizabeth I and would love to research her more.
For the upcoming project of having to plan a tour around London, I would love to tour around Queen Elizabeth. I’ll have to do a lot more reading about her, but I think it would be fascinating to see some of the places she frequented.
It was cool to read about how much London has changed throughout the centuries. I’m greatly looking forward to finally being able to visit it for myself and seeing things in up close and in person.
And always remember: there is no place like London… :)
