South Kensington

No trip to London is complete without a visit to Harrods!

At the top of the fabulous Egyptian staircase.

Q pondering over what treats to get in the Food Hall.

Q trying out the iconic Harrods bag. I ended up buying a different one.

Q in the Victoria and Albert Museum. This museum was excellent! And, it was another freebie in the city. The collection was a bit random, but the sheer volume of it was really impressive.

Inside the courtyard.

Q taking a breather in the Renaissance Gallery.

We then ventured to the Natural History Museum, which was just down the road from the V and A.

Q at the dinosaurs exhibit.

Q checking out the elephants on display.

Q being attacked by a hippo!!! Don't worry, he escaped safely.

The building itself, especially the Central Hall, was quite beautiful. I snapped a bunch of photos of the architecture before heading to dinner with a friend.

  7. Frankly, I didn't look for Quatchi-sized clothing. He has enough for now. My mum and the Quatchi fam from South Korea spoil him rotten!
