Tower of London and St. James Park

Tower of London

For our Criminal Justice class our first field trip was on July 11, to the Tower of London.  The Tower of London previously housed the royal and was also used as a prison.  At Tower of London we were able to visit the torture chamber, walk through the Bloody Tower, and see the Crown Jewels.  Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take pictures of any of the jewels.

St. James Park

 After the Tower of London, some of us went to St. James park and laid out in the sun and took in the scenery. St. James Park is the oldest of the Royal Parks in London.
