Week end in London (1)

I'm spending a week end in London. My friend is arriving later on tonight but I was already there last night. I had to go to the French Consulate 1st thing this morning.

I went for lunch at "World Food Café" in Neil's Yard. It's a vegetarian restaurant and take away. Nicely freshly cooked cuisine in a friendly atmosphere. I had seen on the web that there was an exhibition on 'tattoos' at a place called "The Tapestry" on Frith St. It was a bit disappointing : only about 4 pictures... I then had a cup of tea at Princi's on Wardour St. It's in fact an Italian bakery and cafeteria. It was absolutely packed and the food , including the cakes, seems really mouth-watering...

To burn off the calories I walked down to Trafalgar Square, visited St Martin in the Fields and ended up at Somerset House. I didn't know that London Fashion Show was held there : I couldn't get in and had to content myself with the outside gallery.

Eventually I had yet an other cup of tea at the Lobby Bar on Aldwych.

Tonight we are going to dine at Signor Sassi's near Harrod's.
