London!

[jay_of_lasgalen]

I've just had another wonderful few days in London.  I took a day trip to Oxford and had a fascinating guided tour of the city, a visit to 'New' College (founded in 1379!) and finally saw the 'Eagle and Child' where Tolkien, C S Lewis and their colleagues met.

There were two possible plays to see at Shakespeare's Globe - Titus Andronicus, or Much

Oh, sounds wonderful!

It was! I had a great time, and it was wonderful to follow in Tolkien's footsteps.

That sounds just lovely. I would love to travel to England and spend a goodly amount of time sightseeing. some day....

Do come! There are some wonderful places, and so much history ...

Aside from the strike, it sounds like you had a ton of fun! Yay!

[jay_of_lasgalen]

I had a great time - there is so much to see and do! The tube strike didn't make life too difficult as I walked or got a bus where possible.

Ohhh, sounds so lovely. I haven't been to London in years but I always loved it. I feel I know Oxford because I'm a nerd about Lewis and Morse and Endeavour but I've never actually been there and would love to go! Glad you had a good time :-)

Oxford is lovely, and the colleges fascinating! I glimpsed a TV crew filming Lewis while I was there, but didn't see anyone famous.

That all sounds fun. Although very bad timing with the tube strike.

I had a great time, but the timing could have been better! However with the exception of Wednesday evening (when it was all supposed to over!) travel wasn't too difficult.
