I totally had to share these photos

[quarryquest]

As an ex-Londoner I miss the capital like an old friend, but a trip yesterday with my BF allowed me to go off and wander around my old haunts. One of them (oddly enough) happens to be in the City of London near Smithfield and St Bartholomew's Hospital. As I was feeding the friendly squirrels in the Rotunda Garden there I snapped a few photos off ...

I have put this behind a cut just in case anyone should be waiting to see the final episode and not be spoiled.
