Springing Around London

It was a rather lovely Spring day on Friday, with top temperatures hovering around the high teens. Not a day for serious studying, alas, which was why the SSG, the HM and I decided to head out for a nice walk around London. And I couldn't have asked for better company.

We ventured down south through Holborn before hitting the Strand – and people of a certain age and background never fail to remember where the Strand stood on the British Monopoly board, coming right after Free Parking and just before Chance. Those were the days when children spent their time playing board games, not the X Box.

Crossing Waterloo Bridge, we entered the Southbank area, with its array of performance venues, galleries and eateries. Certainly, there was a nice, jolly atmosphere, with many people out and about on the start of this long Easter weekend, obviously enjoying themselves.

A nice, meaty dinner then followed at the Anchor pub overlooking the Thames, with servings of roast pork, beef and turkey, washed down with a cool pint of Fosters. Simply perfect. I love this city.
