Monday: We went to Parliament and got a tour from a member named Dennis Skinner. In the Afternoon we went to The National Gallery to see Georgian period artwork, this included Marriage A-la-Mode, a series done by Hogarth. Later that night we went to see the play Bingo, a show about Shakespeare's life when he returns to Stratford.

Tuesday: Another busy day, we started the day by going to the Foundling Hospital. This is not a foundling hospital anymore but rather a museum for all of the art that had been donated to the foundling. There was also a exhibition going on by Quentin Blake who is known for his bright watercolors often in children's books by Ronald Dahl. Later that day I went to the British History Museum, which is not really about British history, but rather a history of the world.
