So a little something happened to me on my way home from Europe. I left my parents and sister in Rome and flew to London and arrived shortly after midnight.

However, it took us over an hour to find it since, it was in a the middle of a park and there was not a lot of signs. So when we did end up finding it we where told that we couldn't go in. I guess they give certain times ...
