London 2014 Day 5 – Various Places

We started this day at the Tower, crossed Tower Bridge and walked along the Thames to London Bridge Station.

In Hay’s Galleria we discovered a Christmas Shop. Of course we had to enter and found an Advent calendar with a London picture :)

We took lunch at Café Eterno again.

As some of the proceeds of the café go to the Webber Street Homeless Day Centre we had the idea to have a look at that, so we travelled to Waterloo Station next. Near the station was this very friendly Big Issue vendor and I bought a magazine from him.

Webber Street Centre is in an old building, but with website, Facebook and Twitter urls displayed on large plaques outside :)

Afterwards we went to the parks near Buckingham Palace to take a rest and watch people and animals ;)

This little girl was fascinated with my dress :) 

Our London Trip 2013 Day 8 – Jane Austen’s House and Regent’s Park

On this day we travelled to Chawton to visit Jane Austen’s House Museum. Last time we had been there, in April 2010, there had not been very many flowers blooming in the garden, because it had been too early in the year, but now, at the beginning of June, the garden was very colourful.

As the weather was beautiful I was able to wear my Regency dress and spencer. At the House it was also possible to try on some dresses and accessories, so I completed my outfit with a bonnet :)

After our visit in the House we had tea in Cassandra’s Cup, a lovely tea room just across the street.

When we returned to London it was only late afternoon, so we decided to take a little stroll in Regent’s Park again.
