Running around London

Saturday I decided to go for a long run, but as often happens, I didn’t muster the motivation till well into the afternoon. Finally driven by the certainty I won’t make it back till after dark, I headed out around 3 p.m. I may come back to narrate this later, but for now, the captions will have to be good enough.

My tour of London consisted of me running in my sandals for several hours and stopping along the way to admire the buildings.

I think Corporation of London is a synonym for the City of London, which is different than London.

Grits boxes are fancier in the City of London than they are in London.
