Victoria here, relating our activities after the Duke of Wellington Tour back in September 2014. After wandering Hampstead, Kristine and I needed a good sit-down — and where better than on a London bus…so we grabbed one and had a ringside seat for the street scenes from Hampstead all the way to the City of London. It is always fun to explore a new area — and we were looking for Cheapside, once a popular shopping area.
Here’s a bit of what we saw –
.
Elia, Charles Lamb, a bust by William Reynolds-Stephens in Gitspur Street on the wall of St. Sepulchre-without-Newgate
Old Bailey
Christchurch Greyfriars Garden
St. Paul’s
