British Museum, John Snow and Neals Yard June 2017

I  know us Aussies like to laugh at the Poms when they have a “heatwave” but 6 days of over 30 in London is not pleasant and 34 was damned awful.  None of the buses are air conditioned and some of the tubes and trains are but invariably I got the ones that weren’t.  At one stage the smell on the tube was extremely unpleasant.

Just to prove it was warm and this wasn’t in the sun

But it’s back to more normally low 20s sunny with a cool breeze so I’m much happier now

Off to the British Museum and apart from the fact there were a gazillion children who were all in my way it was very enjoyable as usual

This is a clock !!

Some of the Lewis chessmen

Rosetta stone

I found the John Snow pub but no sign of the infamous pump (for the non scientists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Snow

And also visited Neals Yard – very pretty and interesting

And this quirky statue
