Wednesday 8th Jan

...so we found out a bit more about the artists. Apparently Gilbert and George eat there every day and have the same meal! They refuse to disassociate themselves from art and day to day life - seeing themselves as living sculptures.  

Took the train and headed off to the natural history museum for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.  
There are loads of great images but this one of an underwater polar bear took my breath away the bears stay underwater to keep cool during summer months but to me it is like an image of doom for the bears. As there is a decreasing amount of ice each summer it is harder and harder for the bears to survive. 
The V & A is a great venue for lunch especially as we were  delighted by a  pianist playing Chopin. 
Muddled about high street Kensington for a bit then back to the hotel for an early night and an early flight tomorrow.
