Sir Bernard Brocas ...
After looking for the Coronation Throne for 10 minutes I give up and go to ask one of the guides.
Westminster Abbey seems far from tourist friendly. The headsets providing an audio commentary aren’t issued to tourists after 3pm. The leaflets handed out have two sets of numbers only one set of which (the ones in a golden square) match the numbers on show as you walk around. That wouldn’t be too bad if that fact was mentioned somewhere.
Next time we will get there earlier (it’s worth checking just when the Abbey is open) and try to make a little sense of all the history that’s on offer there.
Life is less complicated at The Trafalgar Roof Garden, although after the success of last year they now have a £5 cover charger per person.
The view is still amazing. Sir Bernard Brocas would have had a more direct response.
“advanced to Reading in Berkshire which place refusing him admittance, he burnt a part of it and made the rest his quarters”
