Now I’ve decided to take pictures of The City during my lunch time. The City is only one square mile (2.6 km²) in area and it is full of hidden beautiful places.

I work close to Cheapside. A cheap was a market in old English. Because of my interest on the place, I am discovering lot’s of curiosities and history of the City.

The Guildhall is very close to my work as well, so I use to go there in my lunch time and watch people passing by. The Guildhall is the official seat of the Lord Mayor of London. Most of the building dates back to 1440, and the exterior walls survived the Great Fire, and the Blitz.

Last Friday there was a bunch of students in the Guildhall, wearing Tudor uniforms, from Christ’s Hospital School (popularly known as The Bluecoat School). People from work said the Queen was visiting the Guildhall. I investigated and figured out it was not the Queen but the Lord Mayor of the City of London who was there to welcome the Old Blues.

Enought of text, I am posting the pictures from my lunch time, most of them from The City. I will do my best to post once in a day.

Enjoy!

I was in the Royal Exchange having lunch in the outside (I am not that posh).

Guildhall, very beautiful architecture!

Adam’s Court. The City is full of hidden places, one more beautiful than other.
