After borough market, we walked towards millineum bridge crossing the thames connecting tate modern museum & St. Paul’s Cathedral on 29.4.2017. ^^
we exited from the green market to cathedral road.

there were many tourists here, as there were at borough market.
weather was good, temperature around 16degC. it was a very nice atmosphere walking along the thames.

shakespeare’s globe theatre
romeo & juliet was showing, and my friend decided to stay & watch the 2hr 50mins show.
there are £5 tickets if you are happy to stand for 3hrs. most people are (above photo).
for today, tickets were sold out, but there is a mechanism where people can return the ticket, & there was a queue outside to buy the returned tickets at full price no discounts.
my friend was second in queue. ahead of him was a young couple. there was one ticket available first so my friend got the ticket.
the 2 of us who were not staying to watch left after he got his ticket.
