On Monday we took the train into London. After a quick glance at the Tower of London (below)incl. Tower Bridge, we headed by 'tube' towards the 'City of London Boiler Room'. 
On our way there we had a peek into John Wesley's chapel (left) and museum, which is just down the road from the boiler room.
The boiler room itself is in the basement of an office building on Tabernacle street (below). On
top of that they found out that the building is on the exact spot where John Wesley had his headquarters (a factory called 'the foundary'). Seems like God likes that place and wants to 'tabernacle' there...
And that was exactly the impression that we had when we entered the basement and spent time in the prayer room. There is no daylight in that basement and somehow it felt like the whole world was shut out and there was nothing and no-one left but you and God. And we felt so at home there. We went away with such refreshment and peace, having tasted something of God's heart for the city of London.
Down the road to the boiler room (on Tabernacle St) is The
Worship and The Prophet, both restuarants, so we went to check them out. 
The Worship looked good, so we stopped there for some lunch and Ulf had a Worship Burger!
The rest of the day was spent going from one sight to the next, and the amazing thing is that we didn't feel tired or heavy from the crowds or the noise. We just felt energized by God's presence and His love for the city. Here are some more snaopshots:
