Hi there! We made it to London yesterday. We left Portsmouth after breakfast and drove north to Winchester. There we visited Winchester Cathedral which Tom and I both found fascinating. We saw the burial place of Jane Austen. There was also a plaque commemorting that Samuel Wesley was the organist there for many years. Architecturally it is interesting in that it has three distinct styles, from Norman through English Gothic to Gothic. We had dinner last night at the Albert Pub, named for Queen Victoria's husband but not frequented by him. However, there were photographs, most signed, by English prime ministers such as Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, etc.
Today we are off to Lambeth and environs. We'll post pictures soon.
