Become a tourist again in London for a day

This past few days have been lovely. Upon the idea of visiting the bustling metropolis London from which I used to live, I decided to enter it like a virgin. Granted I have not been there for many weeks, and have lived in a small seaside town for the past year, citylife took some momentary readjusting. Though with a large backpack, half of which contents were unneeded, I took on the persona of a tourist and visited some free sites. A day packed in with evensong at Westminster, a stroll along the bridge with a good friend to the Southbank, a late visit to the Tate seeing Taryn Simon’s exhibition, dinner on the river and a stroll along the sand. The next day to the V&A to admire Japanese enamels and then a trip to Camden to visit an old friend. Hell, I use to do this stuff all the time living there, but just a short snapshot again was certainly suffice to support those awful tourist brochures.
