My friends and I in London are nerds. We accept that and today we went around London looking for the places of our fandoms. For those of you that do not know what fandoms are they are is "he community that surrounds a television show/movie/book etc." So... we set out into London in search of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where Sherlock Holmes jumped to his 'death' during the end of series two on BBC's Sherlock. We thought that we were unable to find the place, but when we looked online later, it turns out that we were there we just did not know it. The place where he 'landed'/where it was filmed is basically a shrine/memorial to Sherlock Holmes. There was a phone box that had letter to Sherlock and Watson on it. After that we went to St.Paul's since Angelica had not seen it yet. To me glee there was a wedding. It was beautiful! I wanted to use the bathroom before we left so we went to the restaurant cafe, and gift shop area, where I bought a post card. Then we took the Tube to King's Cross-St. Pancras and saw Platform 9 3/4. You could not get pictures with the trolley and the set up they had unless you paid and waited in a long line, so we just got pictures of the wall.
