A trip to London to welcome home a prodigal friend and to see some peculiar sights.
My friend Chris Cundy had a gig with Little Annie and Baby Dee who have been touring in Europe. The timing was good as they were in London playing at a lovely venue,
Cafe Oto

The following day involved a slow wander before the Residents gig that evening. Stopped off at the Coach and Horses in Soho for some fine ales and excellent vegetarian food.

| Coach and Horses, Soho. |
It's a proper pub though too and it has an interesting history. I noticed lots of pictures of Peter O'Toole on the walls. He starred in the play 'Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell' which is set in the Coach and Horses.

We were with a friend who said he'd like to pop into the National Portrait Gallery to say hello to his relation... Sir John William Allcock, an aviator who made the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic. Find out more here:
