in England2021, Ntrips, Uk
As part of my 2021 quick festival tour of england, ultimately for Creamfields and ABGT 450, I first arrived in London.
I had already done a pretty thorough visit of London in 2017, so I went to look for extra things I hadn't seen yet, some slightly outside of London (like the RAF Museum or Bletchley Park) - United managed to get me there 3 hours late, so I was late for my private appointement and tour of Mclaren Technology Centre in Woking, but thankfully they were half shutdown (August holidays), so while I had a slightly more limited tour (factory floor was closed), my host Jeff nicely waited for me and gave me a nice private tour (read more about it here: After a way overpriced cab to Woking so that I wouldn't be more late than necessary, I took a train to London: After checking in my hotel, I went to meet my schoolmate Jerome Abela for a nice dinner at Orrery. Yummy french food with seared foie gras :) For day #2, my plan was to go to London's RAF Museum, which is somewhat outside of London: On my way back, I had enough time to go see a few others museums. I started with the British Libary which had its room of treasures closed last time I went: Next, I went to the London Transport Museum which was actually a good visit outside of them having limitations on number of people who can visit: I then had enough time for a couple of nice crepes (my first meal of the day), before going to see a musical (back to the future) after walking around a bit to burn time until the show:

the show was pretty good, I enjoyed it
anyone who knows above and beyond acoustic, knows why I took this picture :)
