Today was our last day in London. First stop was Hampton Court Palace home of Henry VIII. This was a short train ride out of the city (our first visit to the Waterloo station and riding on the Southwestern Railways).
After that we came back into town and went back to the British Museum to “finish” (ha ha, 5 hours total isn’t enough to see everything there!)
Next we ate at a lovely French restaurant where I had the best beef bourguignon that I’d ever had. Then we attended the performance of Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap. Full theatre, even after it’s been showing for 70 years!
London is quite a nice city. Kensington (where we are at) reminds me of the DuPont Circle area of Washington DC (probably because we are surrounded by small embassies). The buildings aren’t so tall in London that you feel overwhelmed like in NYC. It’s more like Boston in that respect, but even more walkable than Boston. I am going to miss the Underground for transportation since it is so convenient. And we are missing the grand opening of the new Elizabeth line by 2 days (but we’ve seen the signs and entrances for it). Tomorrow we head to Canterbury!
