London 2019 Day Three

In keeping with our no-plan plan, we headed out after a relaxing morning for a trip on the Central Line of the Tube for a stop at Saint Paul's Cathedral, a walk across the Millennium Bridge, a visit to the Tate Modern, and some time at Borough Market. The new addition to the Tate has a splendid observation deck, and it is free. We also took SKT and AW to the Old Operating Theatre, and then home to unwind a bit before dinner. We finally got our fish-and-chips fix and topped it off with some fine gelato from a new shop on Notting Hill Gate.

 Temple Bar at Paternoster Square

 Saint Paul's Cathedral

 Choir School with St. Augustine and St. Faith tower and spire, and 
the City skyline looming in the distance

 Lots of London is broken, including the Millennium Bridge

 Into the Tate Modern

 The Turbine Hall is a staggering space

 The new tower at the Tate is officially known as
Blavatnik Building

 View from the top of the Blavatnik looking toward the Shard
and the Docklands

 Saint Paul's and the City

 View west up the river

 The east end of the City

 Annie caught this sign asking us to avert our eyes and not
look into the neighbors flats -- uh huh, for sure

 The sign said it and it was true, everything was all right: refreshments
on the observation level

 Creamy cheese and onion are basically funeral
potato crisps, and they are good

 Southwark Bridge and the new city skyline

 Borough Market

You want to eat everything!

 Street food with a view

 These guys made lunch for SKT and me

 Tasty and so British

 SKT liked his, too

 The Old Operating Theatre was discovered in the 
attic of Saint Thomas' Church

 The Fish House on Pembridge Road

Annie!

Still tasty

Enough mushy peas for a whole ward dinner

Headed home along Pembridge Road

Nice gelato

We will let you know what happens tomorrow, tomorrow. This is all for now.

OXO
