This morning we took a walking tour of the Bloomsbury/Soho area of London (the area the FSU Study Centre is in.) It was lead by an entertaining Blue Badge guide. We saw Soho Square, where they had an adorable kangaroo, and the St. Giles-in-the-Fields Church, where they used to treat lepers. Many music legends have been associated with this area - we saw where the UFO nightclub used to be (where Pink Floyd got its start), Paul McCartney's office, the studio that first had Dolby recording (Hey Jude was recorded there & some Queen stuff), and Tin Can Alley where you can buy instruments & sheet music and the Regent Sounds Studio where Cat Stevens, The Rolling Stones, and Elton John all recorded. We also saw the pub that George Orwell frequented.
