London & Greenwich

London is a bustling, exciting, and in many ways lovely city. There are also far too many people in it, esp. when we were visiting during the 80th anniversary of VE Day. People from all over the former empire came for the observance.  We met an Australian woman who's father had been involved in the Great Escape.
