In order to beat the long queues, we headed into town early on Saturday. Our destination was the Churchill War Rooms in Westminster (there’ll be a full post on our visit later this month). Perhaps unsurprisingly, thanks to this film, they are now featuring highly on visitors’ must-see lists.
From there, and after stops for a snack and lunch, it was a short walk to Europe’s largest bookshop. The Boy Child is lucky enough to have a not inconsiderable amount of money in the form of book tokens to spend. We hope that he never loses his love for the written word.
Sunday was a typical close-to-home day: a walk to the park, checking that homework is complete, a swimming lesson. The Boy Child seems happy with a 50:50 split of one day of activities and one day near to home.
This West London Life 
My son was never happier than when in a branch of that particular bookstore browsing for books. A love of books is a precious quality. Jon now works for a publishing company in the city – as you can imagine, he’s as happy as a pig in … clover! I can imagine how that film has sparked a lot of interest in that destination.

The Churchill War Rioms were on our list, but we didn’t get to them this past fall. Looking forward to your post on them.
Book tokens & a large bookstore – a perfect combination!!
