London and the Reform Club

 When you live somewhere where there are no trains (on Vancouver Island) it is always part of the adventure to ride a fast train to London.


After checking in to the Reform Club on Pall Mall and finding that the lift was broken (I had to walk up three floors but was helped with my bags) and being Sunday night I took a walk to Leister Square and Picadilly circus. All the shops were getting ready for Christmas. I found a very nice Italian Restauraunt called "San Carlo" on Regent Street for dinner.

The ice needs a Zamboni!

The Reform Club (reciprocal with the Union Club of BC) started construction in 1832 and is a magnificent remnant of the British Empire.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Club
