A Day in London - 4th November

We are offering the opportunity on TWO separate dates (8th October or 4th November) to visit London and for you to make your own arrangements/bookings for your choices of places to visit. THIS PAGE IS FOR THE VISIT ON 4TH NOVEMBER.

The coach will drop us at the the British Museum for the visit on 4th November.  We have found several appealing exhibitions in the vicinity, one or two of which you might choose to visit.

The British Museum is exhibiting the Bayeux Tapestry which is on loan from France. Tickets (costing £27 or free for member of the British Museum) are on sale from the beginning of July. Book online at the British Museum website or phone the box office on 02073 238181.  N.B. DO NOT BOOK UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED CONFIRMATION OF A PLACE ON THE COACH.

The National Gallery (about 18 minutes walk from British Museum) is presenting an exhibition entitled Renoir and Love. This opens in October and tickets will be available in due course from the National Gallery Official Site.

The British Library (also about 18 minutes walk from Museum) has an Agatha Christie exhibition entitled A World of Mystery. This only opens on October 30th so will not be available for our outing on 8th October. Tickets will be available nearer the time from the British Library website.

Bear in mind that we leave Stocklund Square at 9.15am and hope to arrive in London by 11am (traffic permitting) and to leave for home at 4.30pm please buy tickets for a suitable entry time.
