We started our day by a nice stroll in Regent's Park. We had a coffee at the Garden cafe in the park near the roses bush. The park was almost empty at this time of the day (aro0und 10h30).
We then walked around St-John's Wood, just in front Paul's house and end-up at Abbey Road. There was the usual fan crowd even if the weather was unsettle. We notice that Beatles have many young fans. I guess it is because the music dont get old. It was fun to read all the messages wrote on the wall in front the Abbey Road studio.
We decided to walk to Little Venice and we had lunch before boarding the water bus to Candem. The architecture is different. Many stuco building designed par John Nash in the early 1800.
The 50 minutes ride on the boat by the canal is very pleasant and we saw many luxirious other houses.
Candem is really a funky side of London. It is young and so active. It is the part of the city where you can see hippies, punks and other excentric peoples. It is also a place for shopping for different souvenirs like hand crafted jewels or clothes.
At the end of the afternoon, we took the bus back to our rooms.
For supper tonight we tried Vat Wine bar, a fine english cuisine restaurant on Lamb Conduit. The menu is unusual and the ambiance very friendly. We enjoyed our meal and had a great time together.

You should have taken the famous picture of your friends crossing the street at Abbey Road...
It is probably difficult because of traffic.
I didn't took pictures around Abbey Road because I have many pictures of the area already, but Helene took Jean-Luc when he crossed the famous street. It is easier now to take pictures because there is a pedestrian priority passge at the corner of the street. It is a pretty good idea because it was very hazardous to cross that street.
