After a short ride to Kings Cross station (unfortunately, no Platform 9 3/4 yet), the London Crew landed at The Guardian. The Guardian is a broadsheet national newspaper considered center left. Their website was named Website of the Year at the
Online Media Awards 2012 and their “
Three Little Pigs” advert won a Cannes Lions 2012 award. The Observer is the Sunday edition of the newspaper.

| You can see a bit of the newsroom floor. |
Peter Preston, a former editor of the paper, shared some history of the British press and also imparted wisdom to budding journalists. Here are some quotes from the evening:
"Technology is moving so fast and so bewilderingly that it's quite an exciting time to be in the industry…there is no better time than now."
"A lot of journalism is terribly boring."
"There is always an element of risk, there is always an element of being unfair."

| Like everything in Britain, it was well marked. |
