London/walks/food and FOOTBALL


Friday/Saturday 20/21 April

Arrived in London and trains to Greenwich North near the O2 stadium.  Peter and Jill (Iain’s parents) picked us up and took us back to their apartment overlooking the Thames (see photo).  We went out for dinner at the Beauno Aries restaurant that served fabulous Argentinean food.

Saturday was ‘football day’. We had breakfast out and then walked into Greenwich before catching a city clipper boat back home.  Quick lunch and off to ‘The Valley’ to see Charlton Athletic play. They had already won promotion from first division to Championship division but a win today would mean they had won the first division.  Great atmosphere and great result (2-1).  Lots of celebrating but no pitch invasion as there was over 200 security/police ringing the ground. Home for a quick rest and change of gear.  Wash some clothes and camera (yes camera!) and out to a foody pub.
