London Tour

Sunday, May 4

I started by looking through the Phone Book for tourist information. It's amazing what you can find there. I also read the "London Tourist" book I bought earlier in the trip. This listed all the major attractions in central London, together with a map of the tube and local railway lines. Also used the time to plan the week ahead. In particular, I needed to visit the US Embassy, which was likely closed on Monday (Bank Holiday), so that meant going on Tuesday.

After lunch, Dave Snipp, my host, took me to see the company he half owns, which makes stage lighting, and the software to let people design the layout. This is in Eastern London, in a not so wonderful area. After this, Dave took me around central London, including locating the US Embassy. On the way home we came via Brixton, which is akin to Redfern. Definitely seen better days. We stopped at the local for a couple of drinks before heading home for a little TV watching.
