The bemused and besuited Westminster folk may have little in common with my everyday life but we share a similar bond - the commute. To get to work everyday I walk across Parliament Square and never fail to be amazed by the working crowd who spend half their week either in, or next to some of the UK's greatest landmarks.
For tourists this area holds an obvious appeal with Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey a stone's throw from eachother, but despite passing by these historic buildings everyday I've rarely taken the time to fully appreciate them. Until now that is. The Houses of Parliament are very impressive from the outside and I would never have thought of venturing inside until one of my insisted that the tour is unmissable.
As a self confessed bookworm, I was very excited to stop by Westminster Abbey yesterday to see Poets Corner. Many other famous Poets died to London and the British Library have put together a website dedicated to finding their final resting place: Poets Graves
