A Foray into Londinium
Wendover Railway Station
Hmm, railways...
The fountain at Trafalgar Square
Nelson's Column, in all it's black and white glory!
Nelson's Column in all it's sepia toned glory!We decided to attempt London today, via Wendover railway station. The train journey only took less than an hour and then we were straight into Marylebone! From there, we went down into the tube station and got off at Charing Cross. From there, it was about 30 metres to the National Gallery, our destination.
Who said travelling in a city wasn't easy?
The painting in the national gallery were simply stunning. My favourite piece, just because of the scale and sheer realism, has to be 'Whistlejacket' by George Stubbs. It sat there on the wall and basically glowed. The horse depicted looked more realistic than a real horse! I would have taken some nice pictures to show you, but the National Gallery is picky. They want you to buy their photographs. I didn't sneak any pictures because I didn't want my phone and it's precious photos taken and b*gg*red about with.
Didn't get to Tottenham court road, though... :-(

Hello Chippy.
You've just reminded me, i shall be going sight seeing round my new home next Friday, going down the Greenwich - I went to Trafalgar square just before Christmas and fed the pigeons (because the sign said not to) :D

It appears you got the less scummy part of London that I was dragged into a few years back, at least...
That fountain looks nice. :-)
Are you ever going to make another entry on this blog Munky?
