Dating from the 3rd to 4th AD, this Roman parade armour (helmet and cuirass) was constructed out of crocodile skin for use in cult processions. It comes from Manfalout, Egypt, where the Romans adopted many of the practices of the local crocodile cult.

"This head, found in 1907 (in the River Alde at Rendham, Suffolk), formed part of a life-sized bronze statue of an Emperor, probably Claudius (AD 41-54), who led the invasion of Britain in AD 43, or Nero (AD 54-68)."

Paul McCartney Residence

Bought by McCartney for 40,000 pounds in April 1965, as you can see it's currently undergoing a major renovation. The house is right next door to Lord's Cricket Ground, and a 5 minute walk from Abbey Road studios.

Points of interest:-
- Some of the so-called 'Apple Scruffs' (Beatles fanatics) broke into the house stealing some of McCartney's belongings, inspiring him to write 'She came in Through the Bathroom Window'
- John and Yoko stayed here for a period
- 'Penny Lane' (among, no doubt, many others) was composed here
- several shots from the famous 'Mad day' photo session were taken in the back garden
