Lesser Fire of London

Fires of London

Tuesday
Caught up with Cam (nephew) for a lovely lunch in Marylebone High Street. Cam looked fit and relaxed after completing the first year of his MBA.

Then on to the Sir John Soane's museum, one of London's more interesting sites.

Later, we walked down to the Strand to find the source of the voluminous smoke that had been smothering us as we wandered. The photo shows the burning building (which was being refurbished) and firies hosing the rooftop.

Wednesday
Walked through the beautiful rose gardens and flower gardens of Greenwich Park, watching cheeky squirrels looking for food. The park is huge, filled with lots of tourists heading for the observatory, but also used by local workers during their lunch breaks. We enjoyed a nice pub lunch.

We hope to get into Jamie Oliver's Canary Wharf restaurant for dinner tonight. You cannot book, just gotta turn up and hope for the best.
