On the Double-decker Bus

We walked from Westminster Abbey past Trafalgar Square and St. Martins-in-the-Fields, and then down the Strand until we reached Chancery Lane (instantly recognizable to Anastasia and Julia from their reading of Charles Dickens’s Bleak House, which is centered on the law offices located there). At that point we boarded one of London’s trademark red double-decker buses for the rest of the way down Fleet Street to St. Paul’s Cathedral. The cathedral was closed for admission, but we consoled ourselves with pizzas at the Pizza Express across the street.
