Yesterday we ended work a bit earlier than usual due to some upgrades to the lights and electricity, so a good crowd of us headed down to the Old Kings Head just down from London Bridge station. I only stayed for one, sure the others would've stayed on for a few more.

From there, I met up with Una by the station and we walked over to St. Paul's Cathedral where the Occupy London idiots people were still camping and doing their protest. It's a non-violent protest and demonstration against economic inequality taking place outside St. Paul's, and I personally don't really get the point of it, but it's clearly fairly important to them. Everyone to their own I guess. Despite it going on for some time now, there really wasn't much to see, other than a few tents, a tented soup kitchen and some tourists. Not all that exciting, so after some decisions about dinner we hopped on a bus and headed for Tower Hill and to the Dickens Inn - a restyled and reconstructed 18th Century pub and restaurant next to St Katherine's Docks.

Not all that busy for a Wednesday night, but they still served some really decent pizza, which always goes down well! It was then onto Tower Hill station and a train home from there.
