We started our day early to go on Abbey Road because it was a very special event: the 50th anniversary of the picture on the cover of Abbey Road album. We wanted to be there before the crowd. At first, we passed in front Paul house. No sign of life there... Then we went to the famous crossing. There was already a lot of people there. It was such a thrill to be there especially for this event. We saw the Roll Royce Phantom V, which belonged to John. There was a special photos shoot organized for the fans, in front a big poster of Abbey Road.
After we went to the waterbus toward Camden. We had a very good lunch at the food stands as soon as we arrived. As usual, there was a crowd there too.
We wandered around for a while and my group took opportunity to buy souvenirs.
We where then in the middle of the afternoon and Marie-Josée didn't want to come back home for a break before supper. She thought that if they came in, she couldn't want to go out again later. So we took the tube to Charing Cross and went to visit National Portrait Gallery. We return to the Crypth for a cream tea and we walk the Mall to the Buckingham Palace.
By this time it was near 18h so we went in Belgravia to search for a proper pub. We passed in front some nice pubs but the crowd was so big that it seemed less interesting to stop there to eat. After circling a little bit, we followed our way to the Grenadier. I have already had a beer there but never had a meal.
For Hugo and Elise it was a must to eat a Fish and chip in a pub while they are in London. Sincerely, it was one of the best I have tasted. They loved it!
Finally, we came back home after 20h30. The girls had a ice cream on our terrace before going to bed.
