Richmond Bank Holiday Weekend

After visiting Richmond on a wintery day back in January, we went back on the first May bank holiday weekend for a night. After all of James' long hours in work, we decided to go for a little mini break. We stayed in the lovely Petersham Hotel and dined in Gaucho by the river (our fav!).


The next day we strolled up to Richmond Park and retraced some of our steps from last time, this time we could see St. Paul's, 10 miles distant across London, from King Henry's Mound. We also got some photos of Twickenham. We wandered into the forest where we saw a few deer, and had some great views of the London sky line.

Enjoy more photos below!

Ferry from Westminster to Kew

As we were headed to Richmond for the night on Sunday, we decided to get there by ferry. We took the ferry from Westminster to Kew and then the tube to Richmond.

Here are a few (a good few!) photos we took along the way. The journey was very enjoyable with an entertaining guide who pointed out the places of interest along the route, including the HQ of a certain organ of state security which the Official Secrets Act precludes us from naming...

Highly recommended for anyone visiting!

London Underground Song

WARNING!! This song contains some bad words, including the two Big Ones, yes.. both the F word and the C word... and the W word also now that I think about it... so you have been warned!!

Also, we actually love the Tube by the way, but this is quite funny so here it is... once again, there is strong language!
