The second Monday in London, and we get a quiet morning. No class and nothing planned until the afternoon. So I worked on Laundry, this blog, and groceries. A very quiet time. We had a tour of the National Theatre at 4 pm, which is on the east bank of the Thames so we took the Tube and walked across on the Jubilee Bridge.

There are a lot of walking bridges on the Thames.

This is a big building. It has three stages in it, all rather large, and is able to put on multiple productions during a week. Our guide said that it is possible to see a different play every night of the week here. One of the productions that first played here was War Horse

We had a backstage tour and got to see a lot of props and workshops, as this is the only production house that actually makes all their items in-house, so it is a factory as well as a theatre. It was an interesting tour. It was still light out when we finished so I strolled along the bank and managed to grab a few pictures.
What the "tube"? And did you ride that Ferris wheel?
ReplyDeleteThat's the London Eye, and no, I've not ridden it. wasn't really planning to. I'm enjoying the walking tours I get every day.
DeleteThat's a nice boat in the last picture. The Tube is the subway.
ReplyDeleteBoat, boat?! I thought I was getting a picture of the building! ;)
