Talking I went to Lara's Real Home!! Read this

I've been to London for the past two weeks and one of the top things of my "to do" list was to go Hatfield and see Croft Manor. I was so overwhelmed by the experience. The mansion is beautiful. You can clearly see where Core drew their inspiration from when they created the first shots of the exterior. The corner where one could perform the corner bug is almost a replica of real life. The mazes and gardens are also beyond words. I was disappointed at the fact that one could not get close to the front of the house, since it is one of the private parts of the manor, but it does look like the shots from the movie. My biggest let down was the fact that the interior does not look like it does in core’s version, legend or in the movie. That was a studio they created! The games' interiors only used elements of the real thing. What a fan would spot is the black and white marble tiles (Tomb Raider 3), the wood work on the walls, the long gallery, and the library and there also is no kitchen (like the game). There also isn't a pool and obviously no training courses, but as a true Tomb Raider fan I could not withstand the urge to do a gymnastic routine in the section were the assault course should be. Got some weird looks LOL, but who cares. I would recommend any fan to go and see this mansion. It really is a moving experience.

I think it was Hatfield manor, not Croft manor.

That's so great. I wish I could go there.
