Made in S.A.: Two Museums and a Free Concert

If you don’t like London then stop reading right now because I am IN LOVE with this city! What I love most is that by simply wandering around you are likely to stumble across something interesting, beautiful or entertaining; and the best part is you can do it for free most of the time.

There was a Street Photography exhibition at the Museum of London that I wanted to have a look at.It was absolutely fascinating; chronicling the history of street photography in London from 1860 to the present; with photos from the past of the streets I had just been walking along. It was interesting to see the same scenes we observe today, only with different clothes and hairstyles; the rebellious teens, mothers with prams stopped on the pavement having a gossip, nattering grannies. After the exhibition we weren’t quite ready to go home and thought we’d find somewhere for lunch and wander around a bit. We spotted a church that turned out to be St Clement Danes Church (as in “Oranges and Lemons” say the bells of St Clement’s). There was a brass band inside that was giving a free concert. It was beautiful to listen to and I felt so lucky. We ended our day at the National Gallery browsing the many paintings. And THAT is why I love it here. I had such a charming day full of beauty and culture! As always we took some pictures!
