Decided to take in the Xmas illuminations in London. Hadn't been for many years so all new for us. We took the train and tube down to Green Park on a grey and damp day. The walk was around 3.5 miles through Mayfair and ending up at Covent Garden. Knees hurt today, as Baz says - look after them, you'll miss them when they're gone. The Mayfair an Soho areas were very busy, load of tourists, pedal Tuk Tuks blasting out Christmas tunes. I wonder what they cost a Christmas. Mayfair is very swanky and the bit we were walking had lots of high end motor salesrooms, Rollers, Lambos, Tesla - the lot. Interesting when you can't drive too easily in London what with Comrade Khan's taxes and tolls.
This Annabel's night club, venue for the rich and famous, never been there. Don't qualify, I guess.
Next stop was New Bond Street, home to all the high end jewellers - just so you can load up with bling to drive your high end motors.
Off to Picadilly, Regent Street, Hamleys toy shop (which was heaving) then Carnaby Street and Leicester Square. Burlington Arcade and Fortnum & Masons advent calendar, followed by Regent St flying angels.
Final leg took us down Haymarket to Trafalgar Square where there was a a Christmas Market and the tree donated to us by Norway ever since the end of WW2. Bit underwhelming. Then up through Theatre land and over to Covent Garden. Nice and buzzy there with street singers and acts taking place..
