On a recent business trip to London one of my colleagues was on the look out for pictures of gothic buildings or castles for his small children. He had told them he was going to Hogwarts. (sorry for the poor quality, cameraphone)

This is Tonbridge School.

My favourite quote from the wikipedia article: Headmaster Knox once noted that "wherever the Union Flag stands o'ershadowed, there you will find a Tonbridge boy ready to bring it into the light".

They were also good at deflowering the local girls and puking on the high street (not always in that order).


I also grabbed Tonbridge Castle.

England fascinates me...I worked there for a summer teaching Germans and Italians (axis powers of course!) English in the country side of Suffolk. I loved every minute of the weather and afternoon cocktails. All hail the Queen!!
