We went to morning Mass at St George's Cathedral (Southwark) near Lisa T works. Some historical facts regarding St George's: - the original building was opened in 1848; much of the Cathedral was badly bombed in 1941 during the Second World War; a great deal of his design remains, and is incorporated into the rebuilt Cathedral, which was re-opened in 1958; following restoration of the English Hierarchy, St. George's becomes the first Roman Catholic Cathedral since the Reformation.

Not far from St George's is the Imperial War Museum - a magnificent structure guarded by pair of 15" naval guns. On our walk back to the city we passed the former residence of William Bligh!

After Mass we went to Westminster Abbey in search of William Julius (our great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather) who was buried in the Abbey in 1698. An usher helped us find old William's burial and allowed us to take some photos (couple attached) - it was quite an emotional experience.

We enjoyed a traditional lunch at The Albert Pub built in 1852. The upstairs banquet room is frequented by the politicians (from all sides) regularly since opening. The publican said that you could count on one hand the number of pollies who have NOT patronised the pub since opening. Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II have also been to The Albert.

Following lunch took the Tube from Victoria Station to Tottenham Court Road Station - then a short walk to the British Museum. The museum holds more Egyptian historical old dynasty artefacts than the Cairo Museum of Antiquities - and what a display! The other exhibits are also extensive. To see everything you probably should allow at least 2 days.

Enough of our London experiences - tomorrow we start the next leg of our holiday - Trafalgar UK tour.
