On the 13th we visited Westminster Abbey. Along with the Churchill War rooms this was the most crowded place we saw. The Queens Chapel has a beautiful ceiling but most of the time we were looking down at the names of those buried or honored there. We spent a lot of time there and then went to the Victoria and Albert Museum before a wonderful tapas dinner at Brindisa (So. Kensington).

Friday the 14th was a very full day.  

David wanted Dover sole while in England and after a little Tripadviser research I made a reservation for J Sheeky for 5:30.  It was the only time available. We left our hotel dressed for dinner.  

We started the day at Harrods and followed RS guidance to see the food court, the Egyptian decor at the escalators and the Chihully chandelier.  All wonderful things that we may well have missed if we were not deliberately looking for them. The store is difficult to navigate which seems to be on purpose. Anyway, the food court is exceptional.

While wandering around David saw a hat that he liked but they did not have it in his size. The sales staff told him to go to the Lock & Co hattery which made the hat and where they would have all sizes. We decided to go. But first we need to get to St Martins in the Fields where we had booked seats for a 1:00 flute and piano concert.  It was a lovely contrast to the glitz of Harrods. After the concert we found Lock & Co where David got his hat (and box) and we had a very local experience.  

Next, the National Gallery and a wonderful dinner.  It was a wonderful assortment of activities in a very full day.
