From the Theater we found this remnant of the Winchester Palace. This wall was just in the alley way to our next attraction!
THE LONDON Bridge and Underground Tombs!
There was history in the first portion where you went into different rooms and learned about the London Bridge. Just a little fact is that the London Bridge fell down because the Vikings pulled it down to take it over! And a common punishment was hanging a person until they were almost dead, then boil their guts, then cut off their head and strike it on a post! Also the year of stink in London was because you had fabric dye killing the fish in the river, death tax driving people to throw their dead in the River and Crapper had just invented the toilet... that lead to a lot of stink! After the history you went through a haunted house including swinging heads that you had to run through! It was really fun! I only jumped a couple of times!
After that we went to the World War II museum!
I was in trouble!
This is Brent heading inside of the sound simulator, which let you hear how it sounded when a bomb went off, or the siren all around London. It was really scary.
They had monumental front pages. this one was really good because even when the rest of London burned down St. Paul's was unaffected!
Brent in a gas mask!
Me going off to war
After the museum part you went through a room that simulated what it was like after the bomb went off. It was very humbling.

Both of these attractions were pretty amazing! The first was more fun and the second was very humbling.

Visiting the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C. is one of the most moving experiences of my life. It sounds like the WWII museum was somewhat similar.
