A Free Tour in London

 Looking for something free to do, or something new to do? Here's this month's find.

 And look at those colorful brick paving stones.  The world is full of wonders when you stop to look around.





Many important events have taken place here. Starting with the Suffragette movement, in real life and in a film about it years later. 
The impressive organ. The central dome is a feature. So is the plaque to the meeting of the United Nations.



Useful websites

Wikipedia gives you general history. But wikimedia has many more photos. I found this interesting caption

Westminster: Methodist Central Hall The Hall was completed on the west side of Storey's Gate in 1912 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. A full history can be found at the Central Hall website here http://www.methodist-central-hall.org.uk/history/history.htm
