I spent Friday exploring Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square. I visited the National Gallery shown above. This is my first visit to London since 1979 and navigating the winding, angled streets which seem to change names every few blocks is coming back to me. I took a double decker bus sightseeing tour to refresh my memory. There is a lot of construction going on in preparation for the Summer Olympics next year. In 1979 when I went to the kiosk in Leicester Square to buy same day tickets for shows, they were 4 or 5 pounds. Today they are ten times that. I am exploring whether it is cheaper to buy at the kiosk or go to to the theaters directly.
