When we left Brighton on Tuesday, we had a few hours to spend in London before catching our train back up to Stoke. I love London. There is so much to see and do. But we only had 4 hours sadly.
The Tower of London is one of my favourite places. I find the Tudor period incredibly interesting and have read quite a lot about it. I only wish I could retain what I have read! One of my favourite authors these days is Alison Weir. Although a formidable historian, Alison has written a few brilliant non-fiction books. Innocent Traitor, the story of the short and rather sad life of Lady Jane Grey, being my favourite.
We spent almost a full day at the Tower when we visited London at Christmas time which was our third visit there and we still came across things we had never seen before.
While on our short stop in London, we did a bit of geocaching. A very, very little bit. More about geocaching later.
The HMS Belfast is anchored on the River Thames. Will have to take that in on a future visit!
Once on the train, it was only a quick 90 minutes or so before we arrived back in Stoke.
All in all, it was a great trip and I’m already looking forward to the next one.
