Moving on to the Big Smoke

Yesterday's 07:47 train from Llandudno Junction to London Euston eventually arrived two hours ten minutes late all because some clown wanted some attention and threatened to throw himself off  the railway bridge in Shotton, so I didn't arrive at my digs for the next four days until 2 pm. I am staying in LSE student accommodation around the corner from Euston, there are shared facilities which I know would not suit some of you but for £45 a night B&B I can rough it for a few days and there are some really interesting people to share breakfast with.
Yesterday I managed to squeeze in a visit to the British Library as well as a tour of  Kentish Town before finding a traditional pub serving six real ales, the beer was very good and a snip at only £4.75 a pint but the interesting dinner was Veggie Fish 'n Chips with mushy peas which was actually battered deep fried haloumi now that was an interesting and tasty option.
Today started early, breakfast with the interesting residents then underground and Docklands Light Railway to Greenwich, the portion of the journey through Canary Wharf etc was fascinating with all the high rise stuff being built and the railway snakes through it all. Initially my visit to Greenwich was to go to the Maritime Museum which was very good but there was more in store. The history of the whole place is absorbing and I have now straddled the Greenwich Prime Meridian as well as having a bargain lunch at Wetherspoons. I continued my touristy travels with a visit to the Globe Theatre where I managed to buy a ticket for tomorrow night's performance and then off to gawp at St Paul's Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. The thing I cannot understand about the Palace of Westminster AKA the Houses of Parliament is all the windows have net curtains in them, I expected to see grannies peeking out around them. I was surprised with all the tourists, I had expected hordes of Japanese and Chinese and although there was a smattering of them the vast majority were Americans and Germans so don't tell me they are suffering from a recession!
Tonight's theatre visit is the Commitments, so bye for now.
P.S.
No photos this trip, you all know what London looks like.
