London, day two
|
Soane's Museum |
|
Olympia Antique Fair |
We are staying at the Grand Northern Hotel at St. Pancras - a brilliantly new hotel next to the fully -wonderful- renovated St. Pancras / King Cross station. This must be the place in London with the most connections. Almost all underground, railwaylines (Eurostar!) etc. come together at this place.
But next to that the Camden area is very nice to discover as well. Away from your usual tourists places we find all kind of interesting stuff. The actual reason for visiting London, The Olympia Antiques fair, is a big disappointment. Sure you can buy some nice decorative stuff, but there are no real gems to be found. Luckily at the same venue there was the the London International Antiquarian Book Fair - which was great!
