Wimbledon, center court!

We thought it had been a pretty great day already after soaking up a bunch of medieval history at the Tower of London, enjoying fresh sandwiches from the borough market, strolling through Hyde park, listening to Big Ben chime, and seeing a bunch of dead guys at Westminster abbey (seriously though, it is an amazing and humbling church). We even stayed for their evensong service. However, one of the most exciting events of our trip was still yet to come. We thought it would be interesting to take a trip out to Wimbledon on the tube and see the excitement of opening day. I thought we would be lucky just to see the courts from afar. But after buying some cheap (only 14 pounds) evening tickets and a few lucky turns, we were actually able to watch a match on center court! We saw Brit Heather Watson beat Ivela Benesova, and caught the conclusion of a couple other matches.
