Arrived yesterday morning. Mrs JP has been here since Sunday for a short conference. Yesterday we walked from the hotel to Bickingham Palace - and the to Trafalgar Square. Had high tea at St Martins in the crypt. (Literally the crypt below St Martins in the Field) then she had bought us rush seats for Wicked - amazing sets/ costumes music/ sadly we couldn't hear most of the lyrics but very very good! Today was the prtrait gallery and the national gallery - so much art so little time. We then walked to Westminster Cathedral for evensong - we were going to Westminster Abbey first but twice a year they have a combined service - lovely though mostly in Latin - so while we loved the music, again we didn't get the lyrics. :grin:
Where we are stayng (just near Paddington Station) is lovely - a bunch of small hotels (which describes the rooms perfectly too!) saw a real estate agent window - flats in the area are in the 1.5 - 2.5 million pound range! (5000 pounds a month - or curiously 1000+ pounds per week.
all in all a good time being had by all! No classic cars to speak of. Saw an old ice cream truck (parked for a long time!) and as the bus goes past a couple od car dealers a vintage benz (not sure what) and a James Bond DB? Downtown London is an ultra low emissions zone - so no older cars!
Will likely get my vehicle fix at the London Transport Museum - Brooklands has an event tomorrow but a bit far.
loving it all though!
