We took the tube to Russel Square and walked in the streets around. I showed Josée a building where I rent a flat in 2010. We then arrived inn front of St-Pancras Station. What a beautiful architecture!! It look more like a castle than a train station. We decided to visit the British Library.
It is so impressive!! All those books!
There was an exhibition about the life of homosexuals in London of the past until now, called: Gay UK:Love, Law and Liberty. Since the arrest of Oscar Wilde in 1895, things have change, but very slowly.
After touring some rooms in the Library, we walk toward Tottenham Court Road to find a place call Ahi Poke for lunch. We walked for about two minutes and it started pouring rain. It wasn't very pleasant to walk with my sandals in such a deluge. We never found the restaurant we were looking for. We entered a PRET and it was perfect as always.
After the lunch, we went to see the Pink Floyd exhibition at Victoria and Albert Museum. There was a crowd on the tube at South Kensington. We could barely advance towards the exit. And there was a crowd at the museum to see Pink Floyd. We had to wait 45 minutes before accessing the exhibition. But it worth it. Pink Floyd were the precursors of what was done in underground and psychedelic music since then. They had a unique sound. The soundtrack that could be heard throughout the show was excellent. It was interesting to heard the interview with Roger Walter and David Gilmore.
We were supposed to go out for dinner but with the rain always falling we choose to eat in the comfort of our sweet home in London. It is fun to sit together after a day of sightseeing and tell each other that we have seen. Pierrette and Guylaine were please to heard a choral in St-Paul. They were at the right place on the right moment.
Josée make me notice something today about a particular mode in London. Women put a lot of make up on their eyebrows so it is very wide and dark. Is it a mode in Montreal? I didn't notice.
