First we went to the Borough market for lunch. It is basically a huge group of food stalls. It was hard choosing. The kids went for noodles. Alec and I chose "salt beef". This was corned beef with mustard and pickle. I was able to just order a half. Very tasty.
Next we took a taxi to Battersea park, where there were low rider bikes to rent.
After a short instruction, they were off for an hour to ride around the park. Jef and I found a bench nearby. For the last circuit, Alec and Jef traded. We planned on taking the water bus home, but it only ran to that stop during rush hour. We took a taxi instead. For 5 people it is almost cheaper to take the taxi.
Once home we all cleaned up for our special dinner at Simpsons-in-the-Strand. Lawry's is one of their favorite restaurants, so we wanted to show them where the idea had come from. Our carvers:
Beef
Fish & chips
Popover with vege and roasted potatoes:
Medley of desserts
Ice cream
And off to bed.
