Thank you, Lee Ann! I missed this TR and after a quick look I see that it's a trove of information about galleries and that area. Yippee!

We've frequently attended the St. Martin's lunchtime concerts. Lovely, informal, small ensembles and soloists. It's hit or miss on the music, a positive on the entire experience

Good to know, VirginiaC. I can't wait and hope there'll be something special.

OK, this leg of the trip is now organized. I'm staying at Strand Palace in London.

It would be lovely try for a GTG for lunch or tea. I'll try to pin down open dates once I have a better idea of what day(s) I'll be tied up. I'll start a new TR in 2014.

Again, so many thanks for everyone's input.

well done TD. it's a great feeling isn't it when you've finally made the decision? I've just about managed to finish our bookings for Oz and NZ [about 12 places in all] and it's a great relief to have it all booked.
