Our accommodations outside of London suit us right down to the ground. Located on the only inhabited island in the Thames, Ripple is a delight.
Today we walked to the Twickenham Railway Station, just 10 minutes by foot from our lovely riverside chalet. It seemed as though all the stars aligned for us.... we got our tickets just as a train was pulling in to the station. After arriving at Waterloo train station in London, we made the fairly easy transition to the waiting Northern Line for Leicester Square.
We had lunch at the Porcupine, a pub in the Nicholson's family of pubs. We arrived late, at 1:30, p.m., owing to our weird sleep schedules *cough* who slept late? oh yes that was ME. Odd eating alone in the restaurant above the bar but the food was amazing. Harry peri-peri chicken wings and pork belly; Katy a chicken sandwich. Shane had a bacon cheeseburger and Amy had a chicken-mushroom pie. Amy's chicken pie won the best meal (because it's Amy who is writing!!)
Next up: Amy's happy journey to Fortnum & Mason.
