Christ Church College

We continued our college visits with a stop at Christ Church. The cathedral was closed, so we'll have to return again.
The list of notable alumni is immensely long. "Christ Church has produced thirteen British prime ministers, which is equal to the number produced by all 45 other Oxford colleges put together and more than any Cambridge college and two short of the total number for the University of Cambridge, fifteen" (Wikipedia). Impressive.

We had a picnic lunch by the Thames. This party barge turned around right in front of us, providing tunes for a little while.

Also inside the Hall - Does this remind anyone of a recent movie about a wizard?
