Archer 2’s Week in London

The Archer 2™ is currently in London at GEO Business 2014, a new geospatial event this year for GIS professionals. But that’s not all the Archer 2 has been doing. It’s been busy site-seeing this week. Can you guess the names of these places? Answers at the bottom.

1)  Here the Archer 2 gets a view of the Elizabeth Tower, which houses a famous bell. Do you know its name?Archer 2 at GEO Business

2)  “An Archer 2 by any other name would smell as sweet.” Can you name the theater where the “Bard of Avon” held his plays?
