london1967 | Culture and trash

Yesterday we had a little outing in town.

First we had a bite to eat at a Pret near Horseferry Road

and then went to Tate Britain to see

The exhibition was really good although a bit crowded but we managed to see what we wanted to. (Incidentally, I do wonder why they cannot write the explanatory panels in a larger font, so that people don't have to crowd in front of them to read?)

This was followed by a bit of shopping at Fortnum & Mason's (never seen the upper floors so crowded! mainly with tourists) and a look around Burlington Arcade

It was soon time to go to the Green Carnation, in Soho (Greek Street) for the matinée of 'Snow White and the Seven Poofs', an adult panto

Well what can I say... it was a very coarse affair; not that I was shocked, of course, but a bit disappointed, I expected something better written and more amusing. Swearing just for the sake of it gets rather tedious after a while. At least it made us feel better about our upcoming panto!

Then a short bus and train ride
