A Trip to Trfalgar Square

taking in The National Gallery and Canada House

On Friday we headed down to the Theatre District. We were gifted tickets to see a show at the Harold Pinter Theatre. We had a few hours before the show started so we walked towards Trafalgar Square.

Canada House sits next to the Square so we decided to step inside to take in the Hannah Claus exhibit. She is an indigenous artist from the Montreal area.

When entering Canada House, security is high and it’s like going through the airport without having to show a passport.

We also explored the National Gallery which is directly across the street from Canada House. We were interested in seeing the featured show but at £27 each we decided to stick to the galleries that were free. We headed straight to the Impressionists Rooms. I was not disappointed. Many of my favourite artists, including Van Gogh, Monet, Degas and Rousseau had work hung in these rooms.

A Trip to Angel

with the 19 bus

Today we decided to do a little shopping and explore the area around the Angel Station. We stopped at Itsu for some lunch and enjoyed a hot noodle bowl.

We explored some very cool side streets with fun artist owned galleries and outdoor cafes before we ended up at Cass Art Supplies to purchase some sketchbooks.
