London 🇬🇧 day 8

First stop this afternoon, the Shepherdess walk mosaics, opened in 2012 and made by a group of local volunteers.  The beautiful mosaics depict the history of the area as a previous route for animals and have been designed in a Roman style.




Then to Chinatown with a typical colourful market atmosphere and lots of people milling around.  






I tried a couple of snacks before heading to the Natural History museum.  A wait of 45 mins to enter the museum, but well worth it. 



The building alone is magnificent and well worth seeing, and the dinosaur artifact collection and displays are fabulous. 







Taxidermy at its best with Aussie mammal display too. 



The gemstone collection beautiful with the largest cut blue topaz in the world.




I walked out and the weather had rolled in and so home to leftovers and doggy for the evening.
