London..... Day 2......

Day 2 started out a little slow... Struggled to think what to do, it felt like we have already done everything we wanted to do on past visits. Of course, we soon remembered, it isn't possible to do everything in London in two whistle-stop trips!! Duhhhhh

So what will it be? Museums? Markets? Open top bus tour? Eventually with the help of the concierge, we settled on Camden Markets, followed by either the Victoria and Albert Museum or the National Gallery.... The V & A David Bowie exhibition sounded good but tickets were scarce....

We caught the #27.... YES! A bus... [once it was described to me it rang a distant youthful bell] and we arrived at Camden Markets 20 mins later.... initial thought were to turnaround and get back on the bus! However, ignoring reservations, a little bit of a wander and we soon started to enjoy the sights, sound, smells, character, characters..... It was fabulous.... A real experience...... If you ever get the chance go!

Weather was perfect...

From there we jumped on another bus... starting to get the hang of this now.... Off to Trafalgar Square, which it turned out we hadn't seen before... Not sure how we missed it!

Another great place... Just oozes history..... A walk up The Mall to St James's Palace, Waterloo Place and finally an accelerated tour of the National Gallery.... We have walked miles so time to head back on yet another bus for an hour or two downtime before heading out for dinner....

Tomorrow?  France!
