Last day of the Holiday

Tomorrow we head for Heathrow,  so today was our last full day in London.   

We started the day with a visit to the Royal Mail Postal Museum.  


Not a lot of people know that there is a second underground network in London.  This second network was built by the Post Office and used much narrower gauge trains to transport the mail across London between various sorting offices.  It was used from 1927 until 2003. 

These days some of the trains have been refurbished to carry people (although you need to be pretty short) and a ticket to the museum includes a ride on the "mail rail". 



After that we went to Leicester Square and had a nice meal at an Italian restaurant  before going to the movies to see Tron Ares.   We are now back at the hotel repacking ready for tomorrow morning.
