Our last day in London! We got up early and walked to Kensal Green Cemetery one of the oldest Victorian Garden Cemeteries in London. It was HUGE! We only managed to walk round a quarter of it and we were there for hours! The place is amazing and some of the graves and tombs spectacular. Well worth a visit.

By Friday I was quite ill. I’d caught a cold at some point during the week and was trying to ignore the fact that I had a sore throat and runny nose and a bit of a cough, but by Friday morning I had no energy left. I got up and had a shower and then curled up on the sofa and refused to move. We had a planned an early start as we wanted to walk to the Serpentine Gallery and then go to the Saatchi Gallery too, but my body refused to move.

We went our separate ways this morning as I wanted to hunt round Spitalfields Market for treasures and Colin wanted to head back to Tate Modern. We decided to meet up after lunch outside the Hunterian Museum.

Wednesday, we went along to the Tate Modern to see a couple of exhibitions, namely “Exposed – Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera” and “Francis Alÿs – A Story of Deception” – both worth going to see. I only knew of one work by Francis Alÿs but I’d never seen it, so this exhibition was a great surprise to me, whereas the Exposed exhibition simply brought together a lot of work I’d already seen before but within separate exhibitions, books and documentaries.

On the Tuesday we immersed ourselves in exhibitions again and headed first for the British Library for the map exhibition entitled ‘Magnificent Maps: Power, Propaganda and Art’ which brings together 80 of the largest, most impressive and beautiful maps ever made, from 200 AD to the present day.
