We visited London in Jan 2024. Here is a quick trip report. (Originally posted here)
- Westminster Abby, mostly to check out famous ppl’s tombs; nice site and history too; I quite like the colors from these shots from Ricoh GRIII (first trip with this little pocket camera, very enjoyable)

Book recs for those interested in Churchill
- The Splendid and the Vile
- The power of words (this is a compilation of his speeches but also works well as a biography)
