London 2009 - Day 3
We slept in today (for us) until 8:00, and I cooked breakfast at the flat. We ate leisurely and had coffee, then we dressed and readied for some retail therapy.
Shopping off Sloane Square and down King’s Road is some fun! 
I scored two pairs of shoes and some leggings and a flowing black top. LJ got a beautiful dress shirt. We ate outdoors at a boutique restaurant in Duke of York Square. 
We took all our purchases back to the flat and took the tube to Westminster again.
This time we visited the Churchill Center and Museum. This is the preserved underground bunker used by Churchill and his Cabinet during the Nazi attacks on London. It was amazing. It has been perfectly preserved from the day they walked out of the bunker. It has all the maps still hanging, and the bedrooms and communications rooms, strategy rooms, and conference rooms are exactly the way they were. It certainly brought that period to life.
Very hot and tired, we took the tube back to Sloane and a wonderful new bar/restaurant, The Botonist. It’s very modern and opens out to the square. They serve brunch and high tea there as well. We will definitely be returning.
Dinner Friday night was at a lovely new Indian Restaurant called Vama. It got very high ratings in the Times, and we thought the food was really good, if somewhat pedestrian. We had Saag Ghosht (lamb with spinach) and Chicken Korma with Garlic Naan Bread and basmati rice. After dinner we returned to our little neighborhood pub, the Phoenix for a nightcap.
Back to the flat for a good night’s sleep before an early and busy day tomorrow. Bath Spa!
You guys look like you are having such a good time. I know you are having the anniversary of a lifetime.
