I had some work in Weybridge, England, so Doreen came along and we spent an extra day in London.
We stayed in the Shangri-La at the Shard on the south bank of the Thames:
and it had a great view, even though it was cloudy, misty, and rainy the whole time we were there:
We were on the 46th floor.
The hotel is located very close to the Burroughs Market, one of the old food markets in London.
where we got food for lunch. Very good.
We didn't have all that much time in London, but we did go to the British Library to see the exhibit on the Magna Carta (Parts of the show were rather silly - a rap battle between King John and the Dukes, for example) but it was worth the money over all.
And we saw the John Singer Sargent show at the British Portrait Gallery, another show worth seeing.
And other than that, we wandered about.
