October 18 was another beautiful day in London. My main adventure was a visit to the Sir John Soane Museum. This is a magical place – the home of a renowned English architect which has been kept as it was at his death in 1837. I will let the museum’s website tell you more! I really wish GJ had been with me; I think he would have loved it!

I also wandered around Bloomsbury for a while and found a blue plaque for Bertrand Russell:

The afternoon ended on the south side of the Thames in Southwark. I had a lovely early supper at The George (1676), London’s only surviving galleried inn (recommended by my beloved sister). And, popped into Borough Market just before it closed.
