Today, we visited the London Zoo in Regent’s Park. We took the Circle Line to Great Portland Street and then walked 20 minutes across Regent’s Park—which is always enjoyable—to the zoo. It’s a fairly expensive day out at about £70 (around $115 US) for admission for the three of us. But, it provides a full day of entertainment and would likely take more than a day to really “see it all.”
Here are a couple of photos of Emerson enjoying the zoo:

Emerson's sure the pictured penguin must be from the Falklands...
We left the zoo just in time to cross Regent’s Park and avoid the afternoon rush hour on the Underground. On the way home, we stopped by Ben’s cookies for an afternoon snack. We also got Libby some new Ecco sneakers that we found on sale.
For dinner, we went out to the food court / restaurants that are part of Whole Foods.
Yeah, I know – it sounds a little crazy. But, we’d had Whole Foods’ burritos last summer (very good), and we discovered that there are a series of dining options upstairs. I had Mexican (burrito and guacamole). Emerson opted for pizza (and my guac… and then more guac). The girl loves guacamole. Libby went for a BBQ pulled pork sandwich and upscale mac ‘n cheese. All was very fresh, exceptionally tasty, and remarkably affordable (for London) at £19 (about $30 US).
After dinner, I popped out to the local bookstore. All in all, this was another great day in London.
Sounds like you are having a good time. as always I am enjoying the posts and photographs
