British Museum

Sunday we went to the British Museum. Like most of the museums in London, admission is free. In the past we have been to the more well known artefacts so this time we went straight for the money exhibit, German World War I medals exhibit, and the Enlightenment library. 


The roof at the British Museum is well cool. 

After the museum we walked to Soho Square. 


It was a really lovely day and the park wasn't very crowded. Typically it is packed with people and there are no spaces to sit. 


Here is Warren waiting for me to finish taking photos in Soho Square. 

We walked to Nordic Bakery for lunch. 

The display at Nordic Bakery. It was tough to decide what to get. 

Don't be deceived by the pastry counter, these were not so good. 

I got the brie and lingonberry sandwich on rye bread. 

Warren got the smoked salmon sandwich on rye. Warren preferred my sandwich and I preferred his so we ended up switching partway through. Both sandwiches were delicious!

The almond roll I ordered. Really not very good.

Warren got a cinnamon roll. Nordic Bakery is well known for their cinnamon rolls. It was served warm but we still didn't care much for it. The sandwiches were much better than the pastries. 

Golden Square where we ate our lunch. Just across from the bakery. 

We walked past the famous Carnaby Street on our way back to our bus stop. 

This is Oxford Street, a huge shopping street that is always packed with people. 


This is Regent Street, another big shopping street. Warren was excited about the NFL flags.
