81 (104) Piccadilly Circus - Statue of Eros
Watch out for the arrows if you value your freedom ?
That said and contrary to popular belief, Eros isn't the pagan god of
love. Eros is a symbol of virtue and charity. So there, nah, prefer the
popular version.
A meeting point in the heart London's West End. Not much else than a
photo opportunity.
82 (62) Take Afternoon Tea
Indulge in the very English pursuit of ‘Afternoon Tea’. The
excuse to eat fatty food and take the weight off with a cuppa.
Life is full contradictions. Many live in London. Most probably have
afternoon tea. Now there's something ponder over your second cup. Pass
me another scone.
83 Cleopatra's Needle
Given to Londoners by the Egyptians in 1819 but made centuries ago.
84 Mansion House (Egyptian Hall)
With magnificent interiors of elaborate plasterwork and carved timber
the Georgian town palace of Mansion House is worth seeing if you can.
Mansion House is only open by appointment. Group applications should be
made in writing to the Principal Assistant, Mansion House London EC4N

85 Grosvenor Square
Grove-nuh Square is in well to do, posh suburb of Mayfair. A good spot
to meet a wealthy personage with a high disposable income. Its nice, pleasant
with a few remaining Georgian houses and arguable, the modern looking
American Embassy.
86 (61) London Beach Party
Not quite Paris (sorry?) or Bondi Beach in Australia but when the tide
goes out once a month, revellers come in.
87 Carnaby Street
Carnaby Street was renown for Mods and music bars such as the 'Roaring
Twenties'. It was also frequented by such unknown bands as the The Beatles,
Small Faces, and The Rolling Stones. Carnaby Street was a cool place to
hang out man.
88 (45) Walk around Holland Park (Kyoto Gardens)
If music doesn’t do it for you then maybe the green stuff will.
Head for the Kyoto Gardens in Holland Park. The Kyoto Gardens is one of
those places that can take you way from where you are to somewhere else
you wish you were more often.
89 Southwark Wharves.
Venture south of the river to walk the new River Thames walk ways east
of Tower Bridge
90 Hay's Galleria
Converted wharf transformed into shops and restaurants.
