Last Outings around London

With my time in London growing rapidly shorter, I triaged down a shortening list of destinations and sights I wished to see before my departure back to the States: places I had to see before I left, places that are so easy to get to that it would be a shame if I missed it, and places that I just had to give up on without an endless summer-ful of weekends to spend roaming the British countryside. The former two categories stayed on the to-do list; the latter sadly had to be relegated to the generalized status of things to do next time I'm in Europe - as there certainly will be a next time. The next few posts cover those outings.
