London 2014

After three nights in Hampstead we moved to a hotel in Bloomsbury. This was close to the British Museum, the University of London, Russell Square and everywhere else was easily accessible by Tube or walking.

We visited favourite sights, some we had not done for quite a while; a new museum, the Foundling Museum, very close to us at Coram Fields and the Museum of London since completing its new 20th-century gallery.

This was our seventh stay in London and we certainly never tire of it. "If a man is tired of London, he is tired of life." - Samuel Johnson.
