We went to Leicester Square this morning to see Gladiator 2 at the cinema. The idea was that when we came out it would be the right time to walk to Charing Cross to see the New Year's Day parade passing.
Unforunately, it was a wet day. By the time we got to Charing Cross the only the back end of the parade was passing and most of it was up by Westminster. I guess the participants were marching fast to try and get out of the rain. Even so the crowd was about 3 or 4 deep, and being short all Becky and I could see were the tops of some banners going past.
We walked down to Fleet Street to try and go to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub for lunch.
But the kitchen was closed because it was New Year's Day so they weren't doing food. We ended up at Ye Olde London pub near St Paul's instead.
It was a wet and cold day, so we decided to go back to the hotel for the evening and warm up, especially since becky was heading back to Heathrow the next day.
