After returning from London, Felicia Day has made a video showing her trip through the eyes of a geek. It’s been just about a year since I made that same trip with those same eyes, so I thought I’d share the geekery I got out of London myself. 

Inside the Tower of London, I found this dragon.

I did not burst into song when I accidentally found myself on Fleet Street – 

– or when I purposefully found myself in Hyde Park.

I saw The Brett Domino Trio at this comedy show, and was fairly sure I was the only person specifically there to see them.

Since I went alone, I got to see Westminster station after midnight, totally empty. 

Waiting in line to get a free takeaway poem was a thousand times worth it.

A week later, I saw Bang Said The Gun standup poetry – loud and crowded, possibly my favorite thing I did on the whole trip. Also, two different poets made throwaway Doctor Who references.

On a trip to Stratford Upon Avon, I tried to join Shakespeare’s hometown bowling club.

In Brighton, this door found itself slightly startled – 

– and Pierre Bear nicely reminded me where to throw away my trash.

Things got literary again at Sherlock’s house.

Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing came out while I was in London, and there was obviously no better place to see it.

I stared at Harry Potter blueprints for way too long.

(Concept art, too.)

Of course I couldn’t leave without seeing the place for myself.
