Europe 2016 Sept 3rd Day 6 London

Up at 6.20 to try some writing, getting really frustrated with WiFi at present as not having much luck with really usable spots except for one pub, lucky it has some nice ales on pump. Finally leaving the "Deluxe" and moving around the corner; well up the road to Paddington anyway.
Booked out and will wait to see if any refund, not holding my breath, but Expedia were excellent to deal with. Wheeled the bags around to the "Grand" , booked in and Jane already happier. Walked down Craven Terrace and into a pub for a coffee before hopping on the tube to Piccadilly Circus to try and get some tickets to Kinky Boots at the Adelphi Theatre. Lucky day as we arrived in time to be able to get a couple of £20 tickets.
We then wandered around and down to Caring Cross station to catch the tube to St Paul's cathedral. WOW what an amazing place. Sorry but like Westminster, no photos allowed inside; who cares just go and look, absolutely breathtaking. The dome, alter, crypt are all so stunningly beautiful that it is no effort to stand still for some time just gazing at the beauty and admiring the  genius of Wren. Jane had climed the over 500 steps to the top when here with isxbel before so I just did it by myself. Superb. Once back down it was certainly time to search out a refreshing ale to compensate for the dehydration from such a strenuous climb ;-).
So back on the tube to South Kensington where we found a great little Spanish place for a roll with jamon and cheese for me and a great omelette for Jane, with wine of course. Now refueled it was down the road to the V&A, where went about the museum independently looking at things of interest. What other museum do you know that had a collection of iron work through the ages, fascinating. Also saw some photography and of course the obligatory columns, paintings etc. Just a wonderful few hours before we made our way back to the Grand to get ready for the Theatre.
Caught the tube back to Piccadilly Circus and as we were early, stopped at the Bedford and Strand for dinner just down the road from the Adelphi. We both ends up having Haddock and chips with peas, which was a lovely meal, great fish. Then onto the Adelphi and Kinky Boots. This was a fun, fast entertaining musical and most enjoyable. Love Live shows.
Afterwards caught the tube back to Paddington and into the Grand just before midnight.
Great day.
