War is never glamorous.
Perhaps it serves a purpose for those that start them, but, for those that fight them, or get caught up in them, it is dangerous and deadly, amongst many other horrors.
This memorial in Hyde Park is dedicated to the brave animals that have been involved in warfare.
If you are looking for shirts, ties, shaving gear or cologne, Jermyn Street has what you're looking for. But the real star attractions of this street are the shoes, glorious shoes.
If you are looking for fine apparel London has got you covered. There are two streets that epitomize the British sense of style. Savile Row and Jermyn Street.
Savile Row
For fine suits, coats and evening wear Savile Row is the place.
The establishments along here refer to themselves as makers of "bespoke" gentlemen's' clothing. The term originated on Savile Row. Technically to be "bespoke" the jacket or suit must be entirely cut and sewn by hand. It typically takes over 50 hours of hand labour to make each 2 piece suit.
I went for a casual 26 km stroll along the Thames. It started in Canary Wharf in the East and ended back in Earl's Court where we are staying. The photos are in chronological order.
Note: the clouds were a welcome relief. We've had a lot of hot, sunny days while we've been in London, believe it or not.
A little known fact is that London's Hyde Park also has a pet cemetery.
Well, that certainly is an opportunity that doesn't come along often!
