Mild but a mix of showers and sun most of the day.
A day in London. A visit this morning to the Bank of England and banking area of the City. Learnt so much from the Blue Badge Guide, they really are a mindful of information. What interested me most was the history of gold bars stored in the underground vaults. The weight of these bars is something else. Even using two hands I struggled to lift a bar.
Enjoyed lunch at a local pub, The Griffin, before a guided walk to Brick Lane and Spittafields Market. Can only imagine now what it used to be like in this area as now there is a huge refurbishment program in progress. Old warehouses, offices and shops that have any history attached have to be refurbished in a sensitive manner.
Was a very informative and interesting day out.
