Hi all,
I'm taking myself to Christmas at Kew Gardens on a November Wednesday, one of the earlier time slots (4 or 5 pm, can't exactly remember). It's a long trek on public transport from where I'm staying southeast of Greenwich, so I'd like to make it a full day out that day. I've been looking at Google Maps to see what sorts of museums or historic sites are near-ish but am not feeling very successful yet. I'm very happy to see a site and then amuse myself with my book or writing at a cafe or pub until my Christmas at Kew entry slot.
I like:
- walking (I have correct London November outerwear & shoes)
- pretty things to look at (e.g. gardens, art, palaces, houses, books)
- tasty things to eat & drink (e.g. tea, cakes, soups and bread, beer, etc)
What I'm considering but unsure of:
- overshoot Kew Gardens to visit Hampton Court Palace and then backtrack?
- visit a place or two en route to Kew Gardens
Not 100% sure what places I may want to visit en route. This will be my 4th visit to London in the past 5 years (a hard life I live lol) and I feel satisfied with my experiences seeing the big sites (the Tower, Westminster Abbey, British Museum, etc.) What are your favorite 2nd/3rd/4th/5th London visit places to go?
Thank you for your thoughts!
