London, 03/07/25

Today was a lot of walking around! Started with a cool double decker bus ride over to Covent Gardens to go to the Transporation museum. Riding on the top deck of the bus is super cool. The transport museum had a very interesting history of various forms of transit including trams, the tube and buses. After a thorough exploration it was over to Covent Garden which is a large covered market type space with lots of restaurants and cafes. Eventually chose one for a steak and had a decent lunch, then a good walk towards the center of town. Visited Selfridge, the fancy department store and the the less fancy Marks and Spencer. Also stopped in at Savile Row, famous for fancy tailoring but also the final rooftop concert given by the Beatles. Then a bus up to Baker St. for the Sherlock Holmes museum. There was a line and reviews were lukewarm so decide to pass on that. I was very lucky not to be traveling on the Eurostar today as a bomb was found on the tracks near Gare du Nord and resulted in all the trains bound for Paris being canceled. Creating chaos at the station. Hopefully tomorrow morning when I go, it won’t be so bad.
