HMS Belfast and the South Bank, Southwark, London - 17th February 2020

The day after the Harry Potter tour, as we're vaguely in the vicinity of London, we get the train in from Radlett to do some tourist stuff. We're a bit undecided on a plan, but settle on the Imperial War Museum's HMS Belfast on the banks of the Thames near London Bridge. It's a good day out poking around in the WWII ship, followed by a bit of roaming around near Nosher's old work manor of Southwark, and an obligatory visit to Pizza Express.
