Got a bit chilly<br />though while hanging around for the light to fade.<br /><br />Yes I did make it to The Gainsborough Exhibition at The National Portrait Gallery on Friday<br />just before visiting Canary Wharf. Sadly they didn't allow photography in that room. But I<br />did take lots of photos in some of the other Galleries, i.e The Tudors, The Stuarts and<br />the Rooms with some wonderful 18th Century paintings. I think it cost about £15 to get in.<br />Not quite like your favourite The National Gallery which is of course free entry.<br /><br />Will certainly post up my photos from my Friday visit very soon.Deejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237140493845789517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842630447477333614.post-50178616247675011012018-12-02T08:55:28.925+00:002018-12-02T08:55:28.925+00:00Andrew, I remember when you visited us a couple of...Andrew, I remember when you visited us a couple of years ago. I also remember you visiting the areas<br />by The Docklands, rather than some of the usual tourist traps.<br /><br />But you know, passing through Canary Wharf was quite a revelation. The Station alone reminded me of<br />Paddington. It's like a City within a City. And I just caught sight of the main Central open Plaza<br />area where I believe there is by now, an Ice Rink.Deejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237140493845789517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842630447477333614.post-72290748010443783732018-12-02T04:31:19.521+00:002018-12-02T04:31:19.521+00:00Great photos, Dee!
