Europe 2016 Sept 4th Day 7 London

Up and at it again early this morning, as today we seperate to do a couple of individual things. Jane is going to a Quilters meeti at the Star Tavern in Belgravia along with a few other sites and I will be going my own way. A quiet time is how I like to think of it as. ;-)
First a good hearty Eggs Benedict at the Paddington Arms before catching the tube to St James's and onto the Churchill museum and War Room's.
This was a fascinating couple of hours immersed in the life and history of this man and the Second World War , whilst vising the actual underground room's where the planning etc took place during this time. Churchill certainly was an enigma and a great advocate for the benefits of smoking, drinking abd excessive food.
After this a lovely walk through St. James's Park to get some light and fresh air. We have been so lucky with the weather whilst in London as it is 23 again today, just beautiful.
Quick look at the House Guards before catching the No.3 bus to Lamberth for the Imperial War Museum where another couple of hours were spent looking at the WW1 and Holocaust exhibitions. This is a brilliant museum with outstanding displays ; much more than can be seen in just a couple of hours. To view these exhibitions and memorabilia is quite moving and gives you a great understanding of what people went through during these conflicts. Pity we still haven't learnt. If you enjoyed the War Museum in Canberra I guarantee you will enjoy and appreciate this museum as well.
After this it was back onto the tube at Elephant and Castle station for the journey back to Paddington. Once there it was a relaxing walk along the canals of Little Venice before finally catching back up with Jane at the "Grand".
After a short relax we both walked back to Paddington where we enjoyed an excellent meal at the Star of India in Craven road with a first for me, a Pinot Grigio from India ??? Who would have thought;  and a very pleasant drop it was.
Back to the "Grand" and in bed just after 10, an early night.
