On Thursday, 8th of May 2014, we went to four different places that we should discover from one place to another places which is Smithfields Market, St Barhholemew the Great, Postman's Park and Museum of London. We should walk through by one place to another places and find out about that places and taking a some pictures. It's was a great journey which is we can explore places that we never think to go for it such Smithfields Market. It's a good exposure for us to know about that place and gain our knowledge as well.
Smithfields Market
Smithfield Market, or London Central Markets as it is officially known, is the only wholesale Market that remains located on its original site within the Square Mile. The East and West Market Buildings were completed in 1868, livestock and meat has been traded on the site for over 1000 years.
First place that we went is Smithfields Market. This is outside of the Smithfields Market and we are not allowed to get in. So sad :(
Architecture of the building. And we can see the hanging clock at the top. It's awesome...
Some information and picture that we can see there.

St Bartholemew the Great
Second place that we went is St Bartholemew the Great. Saint Bartholomew the Great is one of London's oldest churches. Founded in 1123 as an Augustinian Priory, it has been in continuous use since 1143. It is an Anglican/Episcopal Church in that part of London known as the City.

Postman's Park
Pretty and unusual space hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the City and housing the famous Watts memorial which was built in 1900. Postman's Park opened in 1880 on the site of the former churchyard and burial ground of St Botolph's Aldersgate church and expanded over the next 20 years to incorporate the adjacent burial grounds of Christ Church Greyfriars and St Leonard, Foster Lane, together with the site of housing demolished during the widening of Little Britain in 1880; the ownership of the last location became the subject of a lengthy dispute between the church authorities, the General Post Office, the Treasury, and the City Parochial Foundation. A shortage of space for burials in London meant that corpses were often laid on the ground and covered over with soil, thus elevating the park above the streets which surround it.
Third place that we went is Postman's Park. Postman's Park is View of the park
It's such a nice place
The Memorial to Heroic Self Sacrifice...

Museum of London
The museum comprises a series of chronological galleries containing original artefacts, models, pictures and diagrams, with a strong emphasis on archaeological discoveries, the built city, urban development and London's social and cultural life, with interactive displays and activities for all ages. Fragments of the Roman London Wall can be seen just outside the museum. The prehistoric gallery, "London Before London" and the "Medieval London" gallery have already been updated, and in 2010 a refurbished gallery on "War, Plague and Fire" opened, covering the period of the English Civil War and the Great Fire of London.
The last place that we went is Museum of London. Museum of London is yeahhhhh...we are here
