Haha, no it's not that guy, just his wax model at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum.
One of the great things about the location of the hostel I am staying at is that it is within walking distance of London's many national landmarks...yesterday I walked along the Thames to the Tate Britain, the Jewel Tower, Westminster Abby, the Houses of Parliament at the Palace of Westminster, and the London Eye:

The Jewel Tower, one of two surviving buildings

back to 1365, basically served as Edward III's walk-in
closet.



The controversial Lord Cromwell:







Westminster Abby:






London Eye, for some of the best views of
London:
