Over the last five days Barbie and I have been staying in London as a break, we travelled up on the Thursday and stayed at a Travelodge near Heathrow. On the Friday we took the tube into London, we did a lot of walking, visiting the Tate Modern, Southwark Cathedral and City Hall, plus various other places like the National Portrait Gallery and the National Gallery. In the evening we went and saw the play "Ghost Stories" at the Duke of York theatre. On the Saturday we drove down to Brighton for the "Gay Pride" event, we had a great time. On the Sunday we spent the day at Camden Lock Market, this is always good. Again on the Monday we got the tube into London and this time went to "Brick Lane" walking around taking photos of the area, lots of graffiti and urban art around the streets. Back home on the Tuesday, stopping off at the Largest Hindu Temple outside India near Neasdon "Baps Shri Swaminarayan Hindu Mandir".
