London calling
Remember the song London Calling? I think it was the Clash who sang it … it’s in the Billy Elliot film too (which I watched this weekend on a girls’ night with a couple of young women from church!) .. anyway I’ve had the song in my head ever since. Quite appropriate really – since London really has been calling.
DD and I arrived here late last night and we have been busy ever since
Today we walked along the north bank of the Thames (through SW3) to South Kensington (about 5 miles away from where we are staying) and spent a couple of hours in the V&A (Victorian & Albert Museum), then jumped on a double-decker up to Tottenham Court Road to hit Oxford St. I’m no shopper but it was a lot of fun. My only purchase was an umbrella -because, you’ve guessed it – it’s been raining here in London.
Tomorrow it’s the London Dungeon and sightseeing near Tower Bridge. I want to walk over the Millennium Bridge. DD will also go on the London Eye later this week with my friend. They are both looking forward to that a lot. The forecast is better for tomorrow and Saturday so I think they’ll go then and I’ll get to explore my home town a bit more then. It’s a lot of fun.
Also on the schedule this week
- Covent Garden
- British Museum
- Natural History Museum (if the queues aren’t too long!)
- And a ghost walk
will keep you posted …
