Actually a single sad face doesn't even begin to cover my devastation :(
So we slept in late.
Maccas for breakfast - but only just - got there at 10:40 and had the last of their hash browns and two of the last four sausage and egg McMuffins.
Then trained it into Leicester Square. Stu went and got a haircut and I went to get photos of a couple of Monopoly streets I somehow missed last time.

Then we went to a couple of book stores - Orbital and Forbidden Planet - the latter being more interesting (for me) and bigger, but Stu bought a couple of books from the former.
Jareth and Hoggle
Carried on walking. Arrived at Temple Church just before 2pm, which is when it was opening for the day, then had a look around inside.

Up to St Pauls to get a few more photos of the exterior (because it was raining last time which made it quite difficult to get photos).

Then headed for St Mary-Le-Bow church, to find the vegetarian cafe (Cafe Below) which Stu had read about in his Secret London book. Had a bit of lunch there (it was about 3:30pm by now).
Royal Exchange, Bank
Then Stu found a Starbucks to have a coffee in while I went and climbed the 311 steps of the Monument. Kicking myself I didn't get the chance to go up it when it cost me £1, so I had to pay an additional £3 today - doh! Was a crap day for a view, but did get to see Tower Bridge open up for a cruise liner to go through it.

Finally headed up past Liverpool St station to meet Campbell for dinner in a restaurant called Ping Pong hehee. Was a pretty good yum cha sort of a meal, and it was super awesome to catch up with Campbell.

Then headed back to the hotel to try and sort out our finances (we seem to have gone over our travel card limit by £13 so not sure what's going to happen there) and sort out paperwork.
