This tour started at Temple Station, took us the Water Gate via walking along the Thames, continued to Strand Street into the depths of the Inns of Court, and finally ended at Sir John Soane’s house where we had a short, but sweet, tour. There are some great shots of a pensive Brian, and an awkward Sarah I’m sure you’ll enjoy!
