Today I went to the British Museum and walked down Oxford Street. I took a detour from my normal path and found a charming little area called Carnaby Street which had a cute little area of shops and pubs and I also checked out Hamley's Toy Store (the largest toy store in Britain) and Liberty Department Store. Liberty is pretty much along the same lines as Harrod's or Selfridge's on a smaller scale with the exception of the fact that it is in a terrific Tudor building. Inside the the store everything is a deep dark wood and there are lots of ornate carvings in the trims and moldings around doors and the elevators are quite pretty. Outside it looks a lot like the Globe Theatre. It really does stand out against all the stone buildings that surround it. I should have taken a picture but here is a link to the Liberty website with some of their history and photos...
I also went back to the British Museum. I took a few photos, they're here in a slide-show.
Hope you all enjoy!!
