England - London, Once More

Thursday, 24 May 2019

We returned to London on Thursday, and flew back to Washington-Dulles on Friday, so we had Thursday evening for a last look at London. We walked from our hotel to Buckingham Palace via Piccadilly Circus, then back through Trafalgar Square.

Looking from Trafalgar Square back to Big Ben.
St-Martin-in-the-Fields is no longer "in the fields" but on one side of busy Trafalgar Square. We checked their schedule, and decided to take in a chamber octet concert that evening.
So we had a light dinner in the crypt. An interesting environment for a meal.
The east window in St. Martin's was severely damaged in World War II, and was replaced in 2008 with a new one that has this interesting interpretation of the Christian cross.
It was dark when we walked back to our hotel, and the British Museum was closed, but even at night it still has an imposing presence.
