We went to London today. We arrived at Waterloo, needing to get to Leadenhall Street. Never been there before, it’s near the Bank of England. We took the Waterloo & City line – that’s one I’ve never used before, but it was convenient. Only to stops Waterloo & Bank which means that you pay only at the Bank end. When you get off at back one way back to the surface is by using the travelator, it’s quite a long one. That’s today’s picture.
We went to do the War of the Worlds interactive experience, and it certainly interactive! It was really well done. The actors played their parts very well, and the effects were very good. I jumped in surprise a few times!. From that you’s take that I recommend it, and I most certainly do.
We were quite lucky. We arrived the experience over an hour early, and we thought we would try our luck. They let us in on a session that was starting only three minutes later, which meant we came out around 1400. As we’d had nothing to eat since breakfast at around 0700, we were hungry. We had a brief discussion, both agreed that we just wanted ”pub food”, we ended up at The English Pub, quite near Aldwych.
We took a slow walk back to Bank, taking in the atmosphere of the city. It seemed normal. Caught the train, got to Waterloo just in time to see the 1628 Portsmouth Harbour train pulling out. That was alright though, we had an open return and only had to wait half an hour for the next train.
We arrived home 1900-ish, the end of a lovely day.
