Wife also spent a few days in Paris while I was working. Work is in Angel.
Best meal was The Shed by far. Place by the globe was good, ramen up the street from our hotel amazing... Dishoom decent. Forget what else we had.
Architecture is really what draws me, but London is such a lovely city and so very much to do. Some day I hope to get out to Wales and explore some castles, and Scotland to see the family castle (sad as it is) and the country...
Very good, lots and lots to do and see in London. Wales totally different.. and Scotland, can't recommend it enough.. Family castle? Still occupied by your family?

I studied in Edinburgh, loved the city, lived a stone's throw from the castle.. And we lived in Gloucestershire, a stone's throw from Wales.. Now live a stone's throw from London.. Theme, 'a stone's throw'.. a very British hobby..
