The Duke was quite the collector. We saw vast amounts of paintings and some pretty incredible silver pieces. One room was set aside as a museum and housed lots of things that were given to the Duke in appreciation of his service to the country.
After that we walked across the street to get a closer look at the Wellington Arch, another tribute to this great man.
On our way to lunch we passed another old church and decided to take a peek inside. It was another beautiful building to admire.
Then we had lunch in a proper English pub where the food was served to us with just as much pizazz and artistry as any high end restaurant.
We topped off the day with dinner at the restaurant that currently resides inside the Michelin House building.
The stained glass windows in the restaurant pay tribute to Bibendum, the jolly Michelin Man.

Beautiful and fascinating series.
You're telling me more than I ever knew about London! I've been there, but like a lot of native brits, took it for granted. It takes an American tourist to show us the good stuff!
Another wonderful day in a great city.
How nice to share the day with good friends, Sharon.
