12/4 London, LAST DAY :(
We sorta kinda slept in, knowing we had to do our preflight COVID tests etc etc .
We use the Abbott BinexNow kits, pretty easy and fast. We both tested negative and had results within 15 Min.
Lynn did some initial packing and sorting, in preparation for our early start tomorrow.
We plan today to be a walking day and here are the photos and comments to follow:
Yes we started with a bacon butty from the Cabbie Shelter to have later as lunch.

From the Embankment Station we walked to Trafalgar Square
Through The Admiralty Arch to The Mall.
In a short bit one passes the Peace Officer Memorial and the on the right side there is a set of stairs.
At the stairs, to your immediate left is the grave of the German Ambassadors dog. Then there are statues of important men in the history of England. On the left is a statue to John Franklin and across the way is a statute of R. F. Scott. These are men of Polar Exploration fame.
Further down the Mall you find a residence, one we all know well.
Now we continue our walk proceeding to Belgravia. We stop at Belgravia Square to have our picnic lunch as we sit on the base a statue of Simon Bolivar.
Our first stop in Belgravia is the Star Tavern. If a subpoena could be issued for these wall we would learn of The Great Train Robbery, The Profumo Affair and countless other shady dealings hatched in this pub.
From the Star Tavern we wind our way to an other neighborhood pub, The Nags Head. Here no cell phones are allowed, but if one asks nice you can take a picture. Patrons are also expected to come in and hang their coats. Truly an enjoyable little pub.
Now we are packing for our return home after a most enjoyable trip to the UK.
