London continues to delight. We were lucky enough to recently visit friends living in Canary Wharf. I have not experienced this part of London beyond childhood trips to the Royal Observatory and rides on the then recently opened Docklands Light Railway (DLR).
The range of activities available to the visitor in London is wonderful. Most of the large galleries and museums are free and welcoming. They house treasures that left me smiling and stunned.
