Obelisco de 3500 años de antiguedad, que no tuvo nada que ver con Cleopatra. Tiene una singular historia de como llego a Londres. Normalmente pasa desapercibido, pero vale la pena tomar un descanso contemplandolo. Deberian cuidar mas la limpieza en ese lugar.

I love just sitting here and watching the world go by

Beautiful place. But lacking some historical signs
