Legal London

London has always been associated with the law; be it the judiciary, the legal profession and legal education. A visit to London will not be complete without  visiting these great institutions.

Dinner at Gourmet Burger Kitchen

We had our dinner here before going back to the hotel.

Cambridge : Misc

We had a wonderful day in Cambridge.

On the bus to the train station

We took the 6.00 pm train back to London.

St Mary the Great : The Tower

We could not climb the tower earlier as only a limited number of people is allowed to do so  at any one time. So we came back at the end of the day.

Climbing up the stairs to the top

King's College

Gonville and Caius College

Market Square

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre

This church was built by the Knights Templar around 1130 making it the second oldest building in Cambridge. 

Commonly known as the Round Church, it is one of the four medieval round churches still in use in England.

St John's College : The Garden

The garden is in front of the New Court just across the river.

This Gothic style New Court was built in 1831 to accommodate the increasing numbers of students. This extension across the River Cam is connected by the Bridge of Sighs

St John's College : The Bridge of Sighs

It was built in 1831 and crosses the River Cam between the Third Court and New Court. It is named after the Bridge of Sighs in Venice.

The Bridge of Sighs in Venice

I don't know why the bridge was so named as the only similarity between the two Bridges of Sighs is that both of them are covered bridges.

St John's college : The Third Court

We took the Kitchen Bridge to cross the River Cam to the New Court from here.

St John's : The Second Court

The harmonious proportions and the local brickwork of the Court here is the finest example of this style of architecture in Cambridge.

Shrewsbury Tower

St John's College : The Chapel

The existing chapel was built between 1866-69.

The tourist route starts here

The chapel is not open to the public

St John's College

St John was founded in 1511. This is the only college we got to see the most as we paid three quid per person to enter this college.
