Day 49 4 July 2023 London – Soho. The end is nigh!

A week today we will be halfway home, so today was partly about that. 🙁

We began getting organised for the next week of our trip, we go to Cambridge on Thursday and had arranged to leave one of our bags at our last London hotel.

Around 10:30am we stopped sorting out our luggage and went out for brunch. An Indian brunch, a bacon and egg naan brunch! Yes, I know that doesn’t sound right, but it was delicious. Deb had found an Indian Restaurant, Dishoom, on the edge of Soho, that was “famous” for their brunch, especially their bacon naan. We went that extra yard, a bacon and egg naan with a tomato chutney. I had a house brew and Deb had a ginger lemon and honey drink to go with it. (Deb loved her drink and has already found a recipe to make it at home).

After brunch we had a stroll through a bit of Soho, down Carnaby St and past the Shakespeare’s Head pub. It’s such a colourful area. A shoppers dream, we imagined, since neither of us is that way inclined.

We strolled back to our flat and finished packing away everything we don’t, or won’t need, into one of our cases.

I then set out to the Barkerloo line and got a tube to Embankment, dropped our case at our upcoming hotel, then took the Circle Line to Liverpool St Station to see how and where we get our Greater Anglia train to Cambridge on Thursday. With all that sorted I got a west bound Victoria line to Bond St and walked back to the flat. Gee, I sound like a local!! The public transport here is just so good.

As I got back there were a few drops of rain. Deb had been watching Wimbledon, and everything there outdoors was suspended due to heavy rain. Guess I was lucky, it rained fairly heavily just after I got back. So we settled in for a relaxing afternoon of centre court tennis.

e have done a good job of checking most things off Deb’s London list, Kensington Palace tomorrow is a good way to finish our London “residency”.
