It is sometimes mistaken as the London Bridge, which we now all know to be in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. It actually opens up to allow ships to pass through. Prostitutes and pickpockets used to walk along the upper walkway for free, but now tourist pay to do the same in what is called the Tower Bridge Experience. To walk with pickpockets and prostitutes, you now have to take part of the free Brixton Experience.
The central tower, known as the White Tower, was ordered to be built by William the Conquerer in 1078. It's really a castle or a fortress with a series of turrets, but it remains to be known as the Tower of London, not to be confused with the Tower of Babel which was destroyed by the Almighty in a place now known as Iraq. It was the place of many executions, much like present-day Iraq. Ironically, they no longer have capital punishment in the UK.
We blitzed through the British Museum, a vast facility with all the trophies of Imperialism. Like all the famous museums in London, it was F-R-E-E.
Meat pies -- mmm...Our nearest equivalent is an individual pot pie found in the frozen food aisle.

This is sort of like Times Square in London. Actually, I don't think anyone calls this place "PC". It's just an example of trying to be hip and cool by referring to things by their initials. How lame of me. Pathetic.
Wandering around in Soho, we ended up having dinner in a Vietnamese restaurant next to Chinatown (really, China-street).
Pimm's a blend of gin, spices, and fruit juices. The Pimm's classic has some 7-up or Sprite in it. Brits call a clear soda, "lemonade", which we know to be ridiculous.
