      Today I took Tom and my parents on a tour of Tower Bridge. It’s been on my to-see list since my first trip to London, so it was cool to see inside.

      The exhibition is based in the two walkways at the top of the bridge, which were once used as the venues in the finale task of @[74091389391:The Apprentice]. The carpet was still covered in red wine stains. The exhibition was focused on bridges across the world and wasn’t that great (they even insulted the Forth Road Rail Bridge) but there was a nice view over the Thames.

      We then got to visit the engine rooms, underneath the bridge. I made everyone pose for an embarrassing photo. I also got some squished pennies, one for me and one for my penny pal @[100000077565375:Vanessa Irino]. (P.S. if you want to be one of my penny pals just send me a message).

      Afterwards we visited Cross Bones Graveyard. The graveyard is for the Winchester Geese, who were prostitutes employed by the Bishop Of Winchester. The graveyard is now a building site but the locals have decorated the gates as a memorial. It’s both pretty and eerie at the same time.

    There was graffiti of monster builders around the corner and a Killer’s style light wall.

      Afterwards we headed to St Pancras for dinner at Carluccio's. I had seafood linguine but I really wanted to order the Vespa.
