Imperial College Tour

Hi all,

I've been to Imperial College three times now, so here are some early pictures and impressions:

Here is the front of the entrance to the materials department, originally called the "Royal School of Mines":

The plaque next to the crazy statues says this place was originally made by King Edward VII 1909:

Inside the main campus is a nice cafeteria, smaller than Chandler at Caltech:

The cafeteria appears to have some exciting restaurants, but they seem to be closed for the summer:

I ended up buying a roast beef sandwich, only to realize that it has literally only one slice of meat among the sea of bread.

I have yet to make a true culinary discovery (that I can afford), so I will keep looking.

Pictures of the inner campus:

Bioengineering labs:

In the front greeting area:

I also had some time to look around the shopping districts, though never buying anything.  Here is Harrods, a place so fancy I was afraid to take pictures inside (maybe another time):

 On Oxford street, there are a lot of trendy shops located in very historic looking buildings:

Some statues next to Oxford Street:

New exciting posts coming soon!
