luscious fur coats at the market

steampunk original (science museum)

bridge of sighs (hertford bridge)

the famous turf tavern. an education in intoxication. good food too!

logic lane. love it.

radcliffe camera (camera meaning simply “room”)
built 1737-1749 with £40,000 bequeathed by Dr John Radcliffe, the royal physician.
