Trafalgar Square

Trafalgar Square is a well known landmark in Central London. Exciting things are always happening there.

The square commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, where Nelson won a significant naval battle over France. 

 

(Over the centuries, the two countries have had a small rivalry, and one or two skirmishes. HA! And one or two of their little battles were fought in Canada. HA!)

WC

There are various names for the location where we all must visit numerous times throughout the day. 

Sometimes it is called:

• washroom
• restroom
• toilet
• WC
• water closet
• western chair
• and various other not as polite names...

Clapham Common tube station had an outdoor entrance to the underground men's WC. 

It has been closed for some time.

As there doesn't seem to be any wasted space in London, it has now been re-purposed.

Following the stairs down one discovers a fun, funky, very busy bar, called:

WC - Wine and Charcuterie.....

Guide Dog School

I contacted the Guide Dog school and set up a tour of their Redbridge Training Facility.

It took me about an hour and half by tube to get to Woodford Green.

I will say, it made my heart happy to see some beautiful goldens and labs and get some lovin' in.

Visit to the Coast - Milford on Sea

Milford on Sea is about a 2 hour train ride SW of our home. 

Soho Signs

Soho is in central London and in the entertainment district.

Apparently, the name "SoHo" was originally a hunting call.

The area dates back to the 1500's when it had been farmland. It was then was taken over by Henry VIII and used as a royal park.
