After paying a visit to Postman’s Park, I headed over to the Museum of London. You enter via an escalator on the right of the road and then across a walkway. Entrance is free, though I did buy a “Highlights” book for £5. The Museum traces the history of London from before the city itself existed right up to the present day.

On my same visit to London when I saw The Tempest I decided to pay a visit to the Museum of London (post to follow). But whilst researching it and the area I discovered that Postman’s Park was close by and, intrigued, I thought I’d keep an eye out and see if I had time that day to pay the park a visit as well. As luck would have it though I happened to be walking to the Museum on the right side of the road to pass by the entrance to the Park and not wanting to miss the opportunity to have a look while the weather was behaving itself, I headed in.
I go to see a lot of theatre but I never really write about the productions here, even though I write about the attractions that I visit tangentially all the time. Mostly it’s because I can never hope to guarantee a set time when these blogs posts will appear (it’s been over 3 weeks since I saw this production!), and partly because, quite rightly, you can’t take photographs during a production. You can however take pictures of the outside, so have a nice picture of the Globe before we continue. Continue reading

For my birthday we took a trip to the newly opened studio tour of the Harry Potter film sets. (Yes, it has taken over a month for me to get this post together). It turned out to be an excellent trip; although certainly on the pricier side I’d say it was well the money, as no doubt did the other visitors. It was very busy though well organised – the timed ticketing system seems to be working very well and as we made our visit on a weekday, there were very few children present.

I recently paid a visit to the Wallace Collection. Slightly hidden away in central London it’s a museum in a town house displaying a collection of artwork, furniture, armour and porcelain.
The collection was bequeathed to the nation in 1897 by Lady Wallace and was amassed by over five generations of the family. Below is a selection of some of the items you can see at the collection. The collection is free to visit but largely relies on its own income generation to keep going, so I’d encourage you to visit if you get the chance.

Despite going to London a fair bit, I’d never been to the Tower of London and on this most recent trip I thought I would remedy that. As a pretty iconic place, I’m not sure I can add much to what’s already been written about it, but I can post pictures.

On a recent trip to London I paid a visit to Southwark Cathedral, which is right by London Bridge tube station.
