London: Haunted Pub and the Clink

1/20/2015

These are two places that I wish I had known about before we went to London instead of finding them our very last day there. This could have been a full-day adventure of unique fun.

The Clink Prison Museum:  At this location, situated in Southwark, it is said that J.K Rowling's herself got her inspiration for the Death Eaters. How cool is that? And it is relatively inexpensive for a London attraction. At only 7.50 pounds per person, you cannot beat the value. It is built on the site of the original clink prison. It is also right across the way from the other place that should have mention...

The Anchor Pub: This historic and charming place is said to be one of the most haunted pubs in London, at least this was according to our tour guide. It is said to be haunted by a dog who lost its tail and its master by a presser gang in the 1700's. They say at closing time it comes back to sniff around. I am not sure if a dog haunting constitutes the most haunted pub in your book, but there are lists and lists of haunted pubs in London. I think that at least a half day dedicated to checking out all of the haunted pubs (with or without a cocktail) would be a great way to explore some of the English history, sample unique food, and enjoy a day pub crawling.

 Have you ever considered spending your vacation time volunteering on a mission trip? There are literally endless numbers of tour companies that offer trips that include helping those less fortunate. Some offer the opportunity to provide medical aid, build homes, visit orphanages, or even help out a Marine Conservation groups.
  You can take your trip as a family, as a couple, or even solo. Some trips are done in the United States and others require abroad travel. In the United States, at Global Volunteers, you can work with local people for a week of service in education, labor, and cultural projects. If you enjoy the ocean, then maybe choose a marine conservation project in Seychelles that includes counting turtles and helping identify marine species. If you are adventurous, you can climb Mt. Kilimanjaro while also providing equipment and services to those with special needs including the wounded vets that have taken the journey with K2Adverntures.
