1st Walk about

Barb and I explored the city some to get our bearings before Eileen was to arrive in the afternoon. It was great that we are  staying on zone 1, walking distance to city centre. 


Love London's architecture


St. Paul's cathedral with blue trees art installation. 




Eileen arrived completely "knackered" after a long trip from California which she was awarded several extra lay-overs. Regardless, she was up for going out to this artist talk that we enjoyed immensely.  
Artist installation by  Argentinian artist Leandro  Elrich.

Eileen learned about this work up in London, the day before she left for London.  Then soon she found out the artist was scheduled to talk about it nearby,only a few train stops away and a couple hrs after she arrived at the flat.  We managed to see the work and get into the packed artist talk just in time.  He was brilliant (as in really smart, not just some gratuitous British compliment) and funny and I totally suggest everyone look him up.
