[Sca-cooks] OT: Visiting London

[Elise Fleming]

Two other comments:  If you want food as nourishment and not as a 
culinary adventure, consider going to one of the Sainsbury or Marks & 
Spencer stores where they sell groceries.  You can buy sandwiches or 
baguettes there, plus yogurt, fruit salad, etc. for less than a 
restaurant.  My usual London fare was from one of the "French" food 
stands at train stations.  Brain is not cooperating as to the name, but 
they sell freshly-made baguettes ranging from about 1.50 pounds to 3.50 
or so.  I usually picked a cheap one such as the tomato and brie.  They 
are filling and inexpensive.

The problems of getting to Hampton Court that we had in April should not 
likely be a problem for you.  Rail service tends to shut down on Bank 
Holiday weekends which affected both Johnnae and myself and that weekend 
involved some particularly nasty repair work.  But, weekend rail travel 
can be tricky.  Besides Johnnae's Internet link you can look at 
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ to see if there will be any interruption 
in service.
