We decided to walk a different route along the Thames River, so you miss our on all the people along Strand Street. Pity we didn't find this route sooner as it is nice as you see the river and there is the Embankment gardens.
We had lunch at the Garrick, where Athol often has lunch. Downstairs is a cafeteria style restaurant while upstairs is more of a cafe. I had the roast chicken dish with potatoes and carrots for 5.50 pounds - it seems subsidised. Athol had the vegetarian option, aubergines and tomatoes with potatoes and carrots.
The new student centre is now open, pity it only opened now so Athol couldn't enjoy the centre more. It is a modern, unusually shaped building called the Saw See Hock student centre.
It seemed to be an open day at LSE as there were many school children walking around.
I also noticed statues of an elephant and penguin, which apparently were gifts sent from Toronto.
Athol at the LSE Library. Although it is holidays, it was still very busy and students were studying.
On the rooftop of the new student centre is a nice little cafe with a terrace.
We bought some smoothies at the little cafe shop by the library where Athol sometimes gets a coffee or bite to eat.
On our walk back home, we passed the famour Savoy Hotel which you often see on movies.
