We went to the Savoy!!!!!

 

We went out again today....!!

.....from Brighton train station......

We didn't have to wait long for our train, and we got a window seat too!!

They got a floppy disc!

Wonder what we're doing today.....?

We're getting into London now.....

There's the Shard in the distance.

See??!!  Told ya....!

There's Southwark Cathedral over there!

We're going over Borough Market here....

And through Blackfriars Station.....

And then we got off here!!!

We used the facilities and left them a CD.

We came out down the road from St Pauls Cathedral

And waited for a bus

BUS BINGO ALERT!  We got the 76

And we tied a floppy disc to the rail.

But then we stayed on too long and ended up on the other side of Waterloo Bridge!!

But we raced back over the other side and came here - we're at the Savoy Hotel!!!

And they let us in, too!!!

I'm gobsmacked!!  They let ME in to the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel!!!!

We got a coffee...... proper real coffee that was yummy.

And then we got  a peanut butter cheesecayke with strawberry jelly.  

Andrea said it was to make up for missing my birthday last Sunday. 

Gosh it's fancy in here....

It's REALLY fancy!!

Wowzers!

That's a Lalique crystal fountain, you know.

Well that was rather amazing!!!

Never been in there before!

So then we made our way past Covent Garden....

And ended up here for lunch!

We got a fizzy drink....

And a burger and fries!

After lunch, we went over to Bush House at Aldwych to wait for a bus.

BUS BINGO ALERT!!  We got the 23!!!

We left them a floppy disc.

It'll be interesting to see where this goes....

That's Charing Cross Station.

Ooo that's posh

We're going down Piccadilly here!

And past the Ritz

....and Green Park....

And round constitution hill to Hyde Park Corner!

We're going up Park Lane here!

Ooooo!

And then headed up Edgware Road!

That's a weird sculpture!

Coo.... this is going a long way!

That's an Indian Restaurant!

Oh wow!

There's some skeletons there!!

Ooo that's fancy!

That's Portobello Market....!!

We're getting some fancy houses now.

Aha, Ladbroke Grove Station!  The traffic started getting busy round here so we all got a bit clogged up.

But we still saw some interesting stuff!

.....like this!!.....

And a pretty park

We saw this odd tower on another bus route.....

Ooooo!

Then we got off at the last stop, Westbourne Park bus garage.....

The bus went off up that way, so we crossed over the road to find the bus stop to go back

There is it!

We left a CD on this railing....

And then got the 23 going back the other way!

They got a CD as well!

Coo, this is interesting!

Oh wow, thats a big church

Ladbroke Grove station again.....

Oh!  Those swans are planters!!!

Oh, that's a striking building!

Westbourne House, eh?

OH!  It's an art deco building!!

Porchester Crescent I think this bit is on....

Oh, it's getting very manky now, the weather.

This is the side of Paddington Station!!

That statue is still there, with all the animals!

And there's a skull!!

Oh, we're at Marble Arch now!!

That's outside the Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane

And we're going onto Piccadilly!

There's the Royal Academy!

Wonder what's happening in there today?

Ooo, here's Piccadilly Circus!

Fun huh?!

And now we're getting to Trafalgar Square!

There's a massive queue for the National Gallery there.... all waiting in the rain!

That's South Africa House...

And we got off at the last stop at Aldwych!

We walked up to the next bus stop to get the last bus back to the station.

BUS BINGO ALERT!  It's the number 68!!

They got a floppy disc

And we're off!

We went past Tavistock Square

And we got off at Euston Station!!

It's only a short walk back to the station we need, so we walked to stretch our legs, and left a CD here!

There's the British Library!

And finally back to the right station!!!

What a fun day we've had today!

We used the facilities and left a CD on the door!

And then went to catch our train.  Didn't have to wait long!

We got on and found a window seat..... and left a floppy disc on the rail!

Just as well though, as at the next station so many people got on, they were standing nose to armpit all the way to Gatwick Airport!

We went through Blackfriars Station.

And then over Borough Market towards London Bridge.

There's Tower Bridge!!!

And then we all fell asleep until we got back to Brighton!!

We didn't have to wait long for our bus home....

And from here, just a short walk down the road!!

What a fab day!!
