June 19th

Old Putney cemetery from the 337 bus to Richmond

If Tony Q ever want to give up the beer game, there's a nice little family pub in East Sheen

London's Underground escalators are really long and steep.

I know what you're thinking.

No I don't.

Cathy in Burlington Arcade

Yes I do!!

A typical Fortnam and Mason's stairwell.

Regent Street gearing up for the Olympics.

Cathy said that this cactus display represents the 'O' in "London Olympics" (??)

Tourists!!!!

Trafalgar Square has 4 plinths (no lisping jokes, please) and 3 of them have statues of 19th century British generals on them. The 4th can be rented by interest groups - this one is obviously by the Society for the Preservation of small golden boys on Rocking Horses.

We stole this very touristy shot from one of the people on that bus.

On the way to see Antigone at the National Theatre, we saw this tree ......

.... and london's newest skyscraper, the Shard, .......

.... and  Buckingham Palace (it's through Admiralty Arch, down the Mall and behind the large golden statue)

We also saw Florence Nightingale (well, her statue, anyway). She's the one on the left.

I think these were on the wall outside Fortnum and Masons. Apparently they have a bit of pull.

 

Actually, I do ..........
