In Grand Ma's dreams you would stay here forever and dance all night



Ideally these words would pause everything now







Langdon Park Station







We stopped at this familiar station

Greenwich Market

Goddards at Greenwich

We came here  because we wanted to try all the restaurants recommended by Andrew Zimmern in Bizarre Food Delicious Destinations London. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W8fg7anWuw&t=7s  Pie and mash is a traditional English working class food.







Pie and Mash

Traditional pie and mash are made with minced beef filling unless otherwise stated. It is served together with a parsley sauce called liquor.

Shipping Good

This poem is found outside the Greenwich Station


And a horse on course its hooves
Drum beneath the earth
Where dreadnoughts sleeping seamen
Are weeping for the berth



While the marshes sigh at night
When sky dives into the Thames
Greenwich and I will sleep again
And wake again as friends

Greenwich Station

We then took the DLR to Greenwich Station.




The driverless train




Victoria to Lewisham

The last item of our itinerary is to have lunch at Goddards at Greenwich in Greenwich before going to the airport. We walked to Victoria Station to take the train to Lewisham.







The iconic red telephone box



Southeastern train





Sienna Alto



Buckingham Palace

The State Rooms of the Palace are open to visitors during the Annual Summer Opening in July, August and September. We finally got a chance to see the inside of the palace. Regrettably, photography is not allowed inside and as such we have no photo to post. Please see my earlier post

Our timed entry was at 10.00 am







They managed to join the Royal family in their RAF celebration in 2017












If you do not have any particular reason to visit the Buckingham Palace and merely want to see a palace in London, I would advise you to visit Hampton Court or Windsor Castle instead. There are more things to see there.


Breakfast at Ritazza

We stopped for breakfast in Euston Station on our way to Green Park.
