Had a fab time in London catching up with a friend, had a wander round the london transport museum, used my Museums Association membership to good use for free entry, really impressed with displays, if some exceptionally creepy mannequins! Great space and free cloakroom too. Would recommend
View inside the London transport musuem, large glass semi circular window with segments like a fan, 2 smaller windows the same below, cut out paper flowers/petals shapes hang from the ceiling and on ground floor a vintage tram, open top vintage bus in brown and a red trolleybus. Selection of vintage transport poster on a wall, can see slight archway with green fake ivy on the edges, posters are bright and colourful featuring people, flowers and more abstract patterns Selfie featuring a female mannequin with a large overside yellow/cream hat and floral dress, she has a very disdainful look. Sat in a vintage horse drawn bus. Other person in the photos is white, females with glasses and large headphones on, hair in pigtails, grey and white thick scarf and orange puffer jacket Poster of the London underground map, advent for the tate gallery by tube. With all the lines of the tube network in colour but like it had been drawn by squeezing out a paint tube, remains of this blue paint tube at the end of the picadilly line.

So Cabaret at the Kit Kat club London is just a masterpiece and yet so depressing relevant. I entered the ticket lottery with TodayTix and got lucky so we had front row seats for £25 so I'm feeling very smug and happy right now!

Few photos of Sherbourne Abbey taken on the weekend. Red on the stone was caused by fire after the locals rioted over access! The underfloor heating was lovely given how chilly it was outside and the steward/guardian was welcoming and keen to share the history with visitors!
Abbey building, stone outside with lots of stain glass windows, square towel in the middle. Vaulted ceilings and lots of dark wooden pews. Central nave inside under the tower, stone walls some pale red in colour organ in the back of the photo Wooden pews with red cushions stone walls with arches and stained glass widows behind. Main wall has gold box with inscription in, wall is pale stone but with pale red sections
