Tour of BBC...

 

We couldn’t sleep in Sunday morning because we had a reservation for a tour of the BBC Broadcasting House. While we were waiting, we couldn’t resist taking a photo with the TARDIS, the time machine used in Dr. Who from 2005 to 2010. Our first stop was a viewpoint over the newsroom, which was really impressive. The BBC would like to claim its newsroom is the largest in the world, but it’s possible that China might have a secret one that is larger.

When the guide asked for volunteers to present the news, the girls’ hands quickly shot up.

It was very cool seeing their smiling faces on multiple screens.

The rest of our tour group must have been pretty shy, because all four of us ended up sucked into performing in the mock radio show. Definitely a fun way to spend the morning!

Afterwards, we headed to Old Spitalfields Market, which was just around the corner from the apartment we rented, for browsing and a late lunch. Our last stop was Tesco to stock up on groceries (mostly cheddar cheese and teas) before our ferry ride home. We managed to squeeze in a lot of fun in such a short visit.
