A Night Out in the West End

Leicester Square, Regent Street, and Piccadilly Circus see some American action.

What's under wraps
at the Tower of London?

 Matt in front of the
Tower, 4:11 pm

 the Tower Hill tube station

Not sure what this rock
formation is about.

colorful tube station

A bottle of chianti
from Florence, Italy...

...being poured for us by restaurant manager Simone.

Jess and Dana have a laugh
at Rosso Pomodoro

 

 

Jess texts her boyfriend
to see if he'll meet us later.

Walking back past the Cork & Bottle, I notice the ad for our favorite current musical.

Regent Street is one of the major shopping streets in the West End.

heading southeast
on Regent Street


 

Turning east onto Pall Mall...

...we come to Trafalgar Square.

Dana's reflection on
the National Gallery

The square's Christmas tree
is an annual gift from Norway.

Multiple statues dot Trafalgar Square.

 

Back in our neighborhood,
here's St. Paul's Cathedral again.

Dana on St. Paul's Churchyard Road

 


on Ludgate Hill road,
looking east to the cathedral

This screen greets me when
I turn on the tv in my room at
St. Paul's Club Quarters hotel.



Here's a mini-movie of Dana and Jessica dancing down Regent Street!

Here's Matt, summoning Jessica to co-star in a rambling, pitch black, unrehearsed, sideways, aborted mini-movie!

And here are Matt and Jess being silly again!
