London 2012
I spent a week in London in May 2012. Here's the story of my visit, and some photos.
Highlights
- haggis dinner with friends (Canadians look at me in shock when I tell them I like haggis, and I have no problem with its ingredient list - truly)
- RAF Museum in Hendon, particularly the Sopwith Dolphin
- having a Venison burger
- sculptures at the Victoria & Albert Museum
- riding the Docklands Light Railway Canary Wharf branch
- seeing all four of John Harrison's chronometers in Greenwich
- Dim Sum at Dragon Palace in Earl's Court, so much better than anything I've had in Toronto for years
- seeing "Cupid and Psyche" by Sir Joshua Reynolds and Peter Paul Rubens' "Baldesssare Castiglione" [sic] at the Courtald Collection
- buying a bottle of Laphroaig PX Cask - "PX" is "Pedro Ximenez" Sherry casks
