So Wednesday was our last day in London and we were to go our separate ways; Me and D and C back home to sunny Milngavie and Anne on to wet and windy Alicante (I think I got something the wrong way round there). First off we went looking at a couple of the smaller attractions we could get access to on our London passes.
Pollock's Toy Museum (behind Goodge Street underground station) is a small private collection of toys from the last couple of centuries (other than a play mouse from Ancient Egypt, which was quite impressive!). These teddy bears were typical of what was on offer.
And from there we cut across to the
Cartoon Museum in Bloomsbury full of recent satirical cartoons, childrens comics and a range of cartoon history. A friendly and well stocked place which made me laugh out loud on more than one occasion. Obviously taking photographs wasn't on there but I did like this seat that Caitlin is sitting on...
And then finally before seeing Anne on to the train to Luton we spent lunchtime soaking up the atmosphere in Covent Garden...
And then once Anne was safely on her way to Spain, the three of us escaped to the London
Dungeon
for a couple of hours of re-enactment of Jack the Ripper, Sweeney Todd, the Black Death and the Fire of London...
From the Dungeon (via coffee and muffins at Starbucks) we hit the long Tube ride back to the hotel, then managing suitcases through the rush hour traffic on to a bus (which then went the wrong way), another bus, a train towards Luton which was mobbed out and didn't stop at the airport and then
when we finally got back to Glasgow Airport I ended up paying twice for the parking, but hey
a good time was had by all!
