Friday 28 May 1915

May 28, 2015 by Sarah McLennan

Leave Union Jack Club for St. Pancras Station. Leave my kit there and then take a bus for Hyde Park. Went to Zoo and Botanical Gardens and Madame Tussaud’s.
Boarded 2:30 train for Leicester and arrived at Sileby at 4:45. Maud as usual but others ___! Mr Looms proves himself to be a hypocrite and clot.

Met two young fellows of the 5th King’s Liverpool Regiment. Stoney broke and without breakfast. I filled them with good things and we toured the city. We saw the Marble Arch, Hyde Park, St. James Park, Buckingham Palace, The Tower and Tower Bridge, British Museum, The Royal Exchange, Bank of England, State Jewels (in the Tower of London), Mansion House, St. Paul’s. Westminster Abbey etc and 10 Downing Street.
