South Kensington

We took the tube to South Kensington on Wednesday so that we would be prepared to meet our Cotswolds Tour Bus on Thursday.

We found our way without any problem. Using our iPhones at the toll gates to "tap on" and "tap off" was simple and efficient.

There were many Five Guys in London. Why is that?

London still has many of these. Most of them are non-functional, at least phone call-wise.

There are many museums in the South Kensington Area

This is the Natural History Museum

The Victoria and Albert Museum.

Inside the Victoria and Albert

Outside the Victoria and Albert 

Interesting architecture. The end of the building at the lower right is about 5 feet wide.

The Royal Albert Hall.

The Albert Memorial

Poor Albert met an untimely death and Queen Victoria missed him so much, she had this spiffy Memorial built in his honor.

Seems like The Hall would have been sufficient.

The Memorial and the Hall

A crow and his statue

I think it might be a statue of Queen Victoria and that's Kensington Palace under renovation in the background.

Time for lunch!

At the historic Goat Tavern, just southwest of Hyde Park

The bar

A street in Kensington.
