"The Tradescants were father and son botanists and gardeners who worked for Charles I. They introduced a wealth of foreign plant life to England's gardens and were the first people in the country to grow pineapples. In honour of this, there are pineapples set at the top of obelisks at either end of Lambeth Bridge."
When you think of the history and pageantry that has happened at Westminster Abbey, it gives you goosebumps!

The view from the tower at Westminster Cathedral is amazing, it's really worth the trip up there.
