London, England travel. We visit St. Paul's Cathedral, one of the iconic figures of the London skyline. This is one of the largest churches in the world, although there's an issue as to whether the place is a 'church' or 'cathedral' or 'basicala' etc. In any case, this place is impressive! They're not too keen on filming, so less than ideal photography. More than a day trip from Thornbury Castle, and certainly worth the travel! (You can view this video, and other travel videos in full-size and near-DVD quality, travel stills and more at www.jpmeyer.com). Thornbury Castle is part of the von Essen Group of hotels, "a private collection of individual country house hotels in the UK, each with a distinctive style and character of its own" according to www.vonessenhotels.co.uk, but we think of it as Real People having Real Fun!
