Today, we did a tour I already did with other visitors, but it was very different. This is the proof that we can redo the same path and see things from another point of view.
On Piccadilly street, Robert enter in a Wifi box. Isn't it a good idea to converse the red telephone box into Wifi space?
Walking in Carnaby street, Raymonde was attracted by this fabulous shoes store.
As we were in the design quarter, we had a look at the store of Liberty. Liberty is well know for is luxurious fabrics.It beautiful Tudor style front is well preserved.
Even the sellers wear beautiful tissues with elegance.
Raymonde it always fascinated by the architecture and in London it is very various. It is amazing to see some very modern buildings in old part of the city like Soho. This colorful building was impressive.
It is impossible doing a tour around Covent Garden without a stop at Neal yard. But I saw something I never noticed before. There is this clock placed above the entrance of the courtyard that pours water on the passer-by.
On our way back, we passed in the beautiful Victoria Embankment garden and I couldn't resist to show the Gordon Wine Bar to Raymonde et Robert. Here is the link to learn more about this very special place: https://gordonswinebar.com/
It was a marvelous day of 18000 steps, but don't worry, we took the time for a break from time to time. My traveling companions enjoyed the tour.
To end this day, we went on this little Italian restaurant we had discovered before with José, Denis and Carole. Our waitress was from France, so we chatted with her in french. Robert had expressed the wish to come back before the end of the vacation.
As did Marie-Josée et sa famille, Raymonde named her 3 wow of the day:
-Liberty Store
-Neal Yard
-Gordon Wine Bar
A special mention to the supper at Stockwell Continental.
