Westminster Abbey is an absolutely gorgeous church filled with intricate and beautiful sculptures, paintings, and ornaments. Unfortunately, I can't show you those intricate and beautiful sculptures, paintings and ornaments because you can't take pictures inside the church. Moreover, that's where most of the actors/dramatists were buried, making this scavenger hunt hard to complete. However, there were a several recognizable names we saw on our way through the church, most buried in poets corner. Among which we saw Ben Jonson (author of On My First Son, one of my favorite poems), Charles Dickens, Noel Coward, Anne Bracecirdle, Laurence Olivier, William Congreve, and David Garrick. I wish we were able to find more actor's graves/take pictures of them, I love a little competition, but this one was a little hard to do. Sorry, at least twenty actors buried or memorialized in Westminster Abbey.
Side note: We go to Paris tomorrow. Not a big deal, not a big deal at all.
