Away from “The Cut” and a few days in London Sept 13,1999
Note: Everything posted is in reverse order, so what you see in this little travel log starts with the end of the trip first. Just deal with it.
Sept. 13, 1999 – Checked into the Luxham Gardens apartments; much nicer than the first night in London. Had dinner near Earl’s Court.
That evening after dinner we went to Picadilly and saw the movie “Austin Pawers – The Spy Who Loved Me”
Near St. Margaret’s near Westminster. We checked out the walking tour of Whitehall with emphasis on:
1)The Banquet House. We took an audio tour and viewed the video on the history of the building. It was not a big tourist attraction so it was a pleasant place to stop.
2) The Cabinet War Rooms. This was the WW II bunker that housed the U.K. cabinet under Whitehall Street.
After the war room, we had lunch at the Weslian Church school cafeteria. Later we purchased half priced tickets to “The History of America” by the Reduced Shakespear Company. Sept 15, took the tube to the airport: End of vacation on the cut!
