Sunday 19 August I went to the Royal Festival Hall to see the World Press Photo Exhibition, which was ok. There was the obligatory 'expert' present, sharing her wisdom with some poor sap, and to avoid the tedious drivel coming from her mouth, I had to change my route around the exhibition so as not to run into her again.
The highlight of the day was by far Gordon's Wine Bar, (said to be the oldest in London, dating back to 1890) in Villier's Street, near Charing Cross station. The building itself dates back to about 1237, and consists of a fabulous underground low ceilinged vaulted cellar, complete with rickety wooden furniture and only candles in empty wine bottles to light the area. Definitely a place to revisit (pictured).
