The First Morning in London

Endel Street, London

I had an excellent night’s sleep last night, after being out at a drinks party at a flat over in Marylebone until 1:30 AM. What jet lag?

I'm sitting here at a small sidewalk café just off Covent Garden after having had an excellent little full-English breakfast at The Old Express in this tucked-away little market just off Park Lane in Mayfair; The Sheppard Market. I thought this time of year was supposed to be before the tourist season begins but the streets are packed with shoppers and assorted sight-seeers. It’s astounding how many languages that one hears while strolling about the City.

Tonight, the first event; invited is the patron of The Churchill Centre, Winston and Clementine’s daughter, Lady Mary Soames.
