On Tuesday, Dick is feeling pretty miserable, a lot of coughing and sweating, but we walk down to Harrahs and later have lunch at the ‘Duke of York’. In the afternoon, Mary heads down to Westminster Abbey for a tour and leaves her poor, ill husband to suffer alone in agony.
Wednesday is our last full day in London and of our trip. Dick is still feeling under the weather, but as this is our last hurrah, we decide to cross a couple of more things off our list. Mid-afternoon, we wander to Leadenhall Market, a historical covered market in the city’s Financial District where some of the Harry Potter scenes were filmed. It’s one of the oldest markets in London, dating back to the 14th century, and is huge. Lots of shops, restaurants and pubs.
Close by is the Jerusalem Tavern, a historic tavern that has been around for several hundred years. Built in 1720, rich in character, and characterized by quaint ‘cozy corners’ for quiet pubbing, the Jerusalem is a perfect spot to have a final pint at the end of our holiday.
We head back to our lodging to pack up. We have an early start in the morning.
