Sunday morning we had a full English breakfast in the restaurant of our hotel. It was quite good, but not super-fabulous. We checked out (despite having very strong thoughts of staying another night), left our bags behind the counter, and set off for another day's exploring. Unfortunately, the blue sky and sunshine were no more, so the pictures aren't as pretty. But at least it didn't rain on us.
Our first general goal for the morning was the Natural History Museum, which is near the other two we visited on Saturday. It is absolutely huge and the building is beyond impressive. When we arrived, though, there was a long line of visitors coming out the door. We decided to come back later, but never did.
The museum had also been the venue for London Fashion Week, which had just ended. That was fun to see. There were temporary venues set up all around the museum, which were not your average tent - many were multi-story and one had big chandeliers! (These pics are from the night before.)
Instead we briefly revisited the V&A Museum, where we saw some more interesting things and got a few more photos.
Next we headed towards Kings Road in Chelsea, my favorite part of London. We had a good time window-shopping, fancy-car-drooling and rich-people-watching.
The cars were especially amazing. Everywhere we looked there were not just Mercedes and Land Rovers, but also Aston Martins, Bentleys, Jaguars, and even Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Here's just a couple - there are more in my Flickr set called "cars."
From there we walked up to Buckingham Palace, thinking maybe the state rooms might be open. They weren't, so we just had another peek through the fence at the palace before moving on.
