This Saturday, I went on an outing subsidized by LSE to Canterbury Cathedral and Leeds Castle. Canterbury Cathedral was an impressive work of architecture that has been largely intact since the 13th century. It was quite awe-inspiring seeing the stained glass windows and experiencing an atmosphere that seems unchanged since the Middle Ages. The next site, Leeds Castle was interesting in its own way – it was a very picturesque castle that has been a filming site for a few movies, including Harry Potter. Since families actually resided in the castle until the 20th century, they had furniture and decorations from late 19th century – not quite authentic but still interesting.
