Then came one of the reasons I wanted to try this "living" in a city that has everything experience.  We finished at Westminster about 2 and, since the drizzle had ended, decided to hoof it the mile to the theater district and see if we could grab tickets to the longest running play in the world, Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap" which is in its 58th year.  Yes year.  24,075 performances as of this afternoon.  We made it with time to spare including time to eat a sandwich while sitting on the traffic circle at a spot called Seven Dials (which has a history going back to the 17th century) and enjoyed a fun production in a quaint and intimate London theater.  A two plus mile walk home, dinner in the Shepherd Market area, an area with beginnings in 1735, and a trip to the Rose Garden at Hyde Park and the day ended as it began, crisp and clear.

Traffic on the main city streets was barely moving tonight and we are hoping for Underground service on Wednesday.
