Tonight we are going to this play. It is called the Billy Elliot for today's generation. A young man in Sheffield England wants to go to the prom in a dress. It really happened. The student body supports him against the administration.
A Gutenburg Press - first printed books in 1440. This was at the British Library. We went there to see the Harry Potter exhibit. I have not read the Harry Potter books - so I was lost. One thing I learned was that JK Rowling was a very pretty and rich women.
Some old rock and roll records at the British Library

Rooms start at around $400 a night. No wonder they can afford to let this Lambo sit out front all the time. It has a V12 engine where the back seat should be.
The St Pancras Station and Hotel. You can catch the Eurostar to Paris from here. We did that many times.
