Had lots left on our ’to do’ list so we were out early to Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana lived. The size and ornateness of the rooms together with the great age made it a fascinating insight.
From there we headed off to Buckingham Palace, although only the Queens Gallery was open. It was bitingly cold today, but worth the walk to see the Palace up close.
After that, we split up - the first time Allan has trusted me to navigate the Underground by myself! I went of to Harrods - what an experience! The food hall had a pizzeria where the pizza man sang opera in the most amazing voice while he tossed pizzas - huge crowds stopped to watch. Had a good poke around, had a makeup demo, and bought a bit of product. Although it was a very elegant and expensive, it had a fun atmosphere, and I was glad I went.
Allan went on tours of the Tower Bridge and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, and had a quick look in the Tate Modern Gallery. Then he zipped back into Oxford St area for a music mega store - he was very restrained and didn’t buy, but said he could have had a field day.
Dinner in the Hotel restaurant and that’s our London Week done.
