Esher/London

Temperature: 11 degrees this morning in Esher and a high of 12 degrees in London this afternoon.

Went out for our normal morning walk before catching train and Underground to have one last quick nose around V&A before heading to Kensington Palace. As we were trying to get to the palace, we got caught up in a downpour, we tried to shelter under a tree with no leaves until we saw two policemen standing under a shelter outside the Israeli Consulate, so we headed straight to them. They were very kind and let us share their small shelter.
Huge queue to get into Kensington Palace. I must say we both preferred Hampton Court Palace.
By the time we had finished in the palace, it was fine, so we enjoyed a leisurely stroll to our accommodation at the VSC. It is still very much a Lebanese area with not many English speaking folk, felt very much out of place. We are close to Marble Arch.
Tonight we went to a local pub for dinner and as it wasn't raining then walked around Portman Park.Leia mais
