Topping off the vacation with a picnic of Neal's Yard Cheddar,
fresh bread and very garlicy cornichon on a bench in Green Park on a sunny December day
There are coffee shops everywhere! (There is also a lot of tea and ale, but never mind). The parks have huge WELL tended plantings of flowers in Mid-December. The museums are also everywhere, spectacular AND FREE (the churches are NOT but just ignore that). The Royal presence is quite subtle. The BBC is live. People here are nice (there are a few loud drunks at night but they're walking [or attempting to] NOT driving). There are all kinds of people, all sorts, different colors, and ALL with English accents.
They all seem to really enjoy Christmas.
I Like London.
