Leonardo in London!!!

Yesterday I went to London with hubby to see the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the National Gallery - we went up by train straight after dropping the children off at school.


We shared a train with the commuters on their way to work but still we weren't early enough to get into the exhibition.  We had missed out on the pre-booked tickets and were queuing for tickets on the day but I was told that one person had been queuing since 4am!  That's keen!  The last who would be able to get in that day had arrived at 7am!


So what do you do when in London and you cannot see what you came to?  


Here's a clue








And then we had lunch at  Gaucho's - great steak!  Best I have ever had!

  4. We wanted to go to that too, but saw that all the tickets were sold out.
    I'm still yet to visit Libertys, maybe 2012 is the year!!

  13. how Disappointing.
    At least you made the most of it and it was probably cheaper than the exhibition.
