Out into the cold around 7:30...
An hour later, our train departed Waverley Station, heading South...
...via Berwick...
Prog Magazine was my literature of choice, "Ulysses" having been left at home - here, chum Sid Smith's article on ambient music...
On through Newcastle...
..and York and through the countryside...
...arriving at Kings Cross just short of four and a half hours after our departure...
The view from the hotel in Bloomsbury...
A reasonable room...
Out immediately...
...to Russell Road Station...
...to Westminster Cathedral with its Campanile...
We lunched in its shadow on tasty sandwiches, before entering the church...
...with its resident Elvis impersonator...
Up the tower for some excellent views...
Back down and away, this in the rear view mirror...
...to Buckingham Palace...
Then, across St James's Park...
...past the Royal Academy...
..and St James's...
...to Picadilly Circus...
...and a well earned rest in a Soho bar...
...before a first cursory look around five nearby music outlets...
No purchases - on to Chinatown...
..for a tasty, sizzling tea...
...before heading for our evening's destination, entertainment-wise, St Martin in the Fields...
...next to the National Gallery...
Candlelight and chandeliers lit the space...
A superb programme of classical music...
...rounded off by an unexpected and out of context, yet still fitting in, encore of Piazzolla's "Oblivion"...
The tube home and to bed after a packed day, ready for tomorrow...
Highlight of the Day : In London again...
