May 11

 This morning, J and J were early. They left the house before 9 a.m. Their goal for the day was to explore the city. They went to St. Paul's Cathedral, but just to watch from the outside. They visited the Royal Exchange, Leadenhall Market, the Monument, the Barbican and the Guildhall. They had reservations for the Sky Garden, but because it was raining, they decided to skip that attraction.

Here are some pictures of the day :

I left around 10am. I went to visit some mews in the South Kensington area. I had a plan, but I couldn't follow it. There were so many little alleys that at one point I was in the wrong way. Anyway, I managed to see some nice mews. Some of you may not know what mews are... A mew is a stable yard with living quarters above them, built behind large townhouses before motor vehicles replace horses. Stables are usually located in upscale residential areas, having been built to house the horses, coachmen and stable servants of prosperous residents.

Every day we passed by a very nice green space to reach the tube Fulham Broadway.  I tought about taking a picture today.

Tonight we went to a new pub: The Rose. It was burger night so we ate burgers. It was very good, but above all the service was very kind and friendly. The pub appears to be a local pub.  There was a cool animation with many young peoples.

We came back early and my travel companions are already in bed.
