After a gap of three weeks, due to holiday and illness of hubby, I am back in London and visiting the above museum for the first time.www.museumoflondon.org.uk/Docklands/
It is well worth a visit - free admission, though they do charge for special exhibitions, such as the present 'Captain Kidd's experience'. The 11 permanent galleries tell the stories of London’s Docklands, the River Thames, and London’s past as one of the world’s great trading cities. There is a pleasant cafe with comfy chairs.

In the evening we went out for dinner. Talking of meals out, where have we been and liked? Well, so far I have really liked Gordon Ramsey's pub/restaurant 'The Narrow' as mentioned earlier. I also enjoyed going to 'Gaucho' on the Riverside which serves Argentinian steaks. They bring you all the different types available on a wooden board for you to discuss and choose what you want. It is pricey - but you get what you pay for! Good service and the atmosphere was good.
Last night we went to 'The Royal China' also situated on the Riverside near Canary Wharf. It is a chinese restaurant which supposedly serves 'prestigious and authentic' chinese food. It was indeed very tasty and there were many chinese people eating there which one assumes is a good sign! Again, not cheap, but nothing is round here!
I have visited a couple of restaurants which I found sadly lacking! 'La Strada' serves italian food and the atmosphere is fine, but the food we were served was almost inedible! I would not eat there again. Another chain restaurant we visited to celebrate Katherine's birthday was spanish serving different types of tapas 'La Tasca'. The food was ok but almost lukewarm. Again, I wouldn't go there again.
I do like eating out here, especially as you can walk to so many restaurants!
