Monday Review - London

On Saturday, with Minibakebakegirl at a sleepover, Hubby and I headed into London for a day/night away.  

In the afternoon after checking into our hotel near Marble Arch we headed down Park Lane to Wellington Arch.   This is owned by English Heritage.  You take a lift to the top and there are great views once up there - you can see the London Eye and The Shard in the distance and also some hideous concrete buildings!  There are two exhibitions on the first and second floors.  The building used to be a police station in the 50's complete with a station cat called Snook!

We then crossed the road to Apsley House which is also owned by English Heritage.   We took the audio tour,  this is a very glitzy and ornate house - full of paintings and dinner sets - amazing.  The dining room was particularly impressive with a table to seat 85 people!

On Saturday night we ate in the hotel.   Pudding for Hubby was a salted caramel cheesecake and I had the lemon tart - delicious.

On the Sunday morning the weather was beautiful and after a pastry and coffee at Paul's we went for a walk. 

We then walked over to Hyde Park and down to the Serpentine.  I hadn't been there since 2007 when me, Sister, Minibakebakegirl, Niece1 and Niece2 went on the solar powered boat.  It's still there but only runs from 12pm.   Hubby and I walked round the lake enjoying the warm sunshine.  Look at the colour of the sky compared to yesterdays pictures!!

Thanks for visiting,
