Harrow

Last week, I quite literally lost my way and found myself on the grounds of Harrow School. This famous boarding school was founded in 1572 and includes alumni such as Winston Churchill, 6 British Prime Ministers and the 1st Prime Minister of India.
As hoards of little boys armored with straw hats and foul mouths spilled onto and over the footpath, I reveled in an incredibly stereotypical moment - I was amidst a heard of lads! My undressed head peered above all others as I realized that I was very far away from home. 

London is definitely not limited to the images it inspires, but it's rich history and traditional past mean some of it's most famous characteristics remain exactly as you would imagine.
