London Nov 2019 100 - The financial district deserted on a Saturday afternoon
I made my annual trip to London again. As usual I was the only bloke, other than the driver, on this trip. My daughters, a friend of theirs and around 40 woman make up the coach. I think I've been eighteen times now, unfortunately, this was to be the last one. We travel down early on Saturday and stay In The Cumberland at Marble Arch which is now re branded as a Hard Rock Hotel. We were having a change of format and were heading for Windsor on Sunday morning.
Saturday was dull and my plan was to head along Oxford Street to The City, the financial district, it's quiet on there at the weekend. I photographed the high rise buildings and then headed for the river and Tower Bridge. I followed the river for a while but cut back through some of the famous landmarks. I was meeting the girls for a meal...and my first glass of wine for twelve months, the last time I was in London.
We had beautiful weather for the time of year in Windsor, blue sky and sunshine, wind and rain in the north back home. The girls did the tour of Windsor Castle, The queen was in residence as it's her weekend retreat from London. I wandered the streets and met the girls for lunch. It was the usual raucous, boozy and very noisy trip home. Forty odd women giving the alcohol full gas. I have been known to be Santa on the trip home, distributing secret Santa presents when it's been closer to Christmas
