During our last week in England, I really wanted to visit London one more time.
This is Leicester Square, where most of the London movie premiers happen. It was still decorated for Harry Potter. I really wanted to go to London for the premier, but we were in the Lake District for Gavin's work.
A big picture of the bad guys. :)
I really wanted to see another play while in London, so I saw Love Never Dies, which is the sequel to Phantom of the Opera. I knew the story and had heard the music before hand and actually didn't want to see it because it was a really stupid story. However, I heard in the news that they revamped it and it was getting great reviews, so I figured I would give it a shot. It was very enjoyable. It's a lot different than the Phantom (it takes place at Coney Island, of all places) and no where near as good, but I really enjoyed it. I was sitting next to this guy who loves going to musicals and he was a lot of fun to be sitting with. He was so happy he found another kindred soul who loves musical but has a spouse who doesn't.
After the musical, I went to Hyde Park where they were doing the Winter Wonderland Festival.
This was a restaurant. It is in a giant blow-up cube. 
I really wanted to go jump inside the giant snowman, but it was only for little kids.
There was also a whole bunch of stalls there selling goods and food.
On my way back to the tube to head to the train station, I passed this on Regent Street. I thought it was cute.
I miss London. I really enjoyed being able to go there so quickly and spend the day. It's such a wonderful city.
