Meet on Lower main concourse, outside Pret, under the escalators to platforms 6 and 7.A walk visiting war memorials around London, mostly, but not all, First World War. This second part starts at London Bridge station and finishes at Westminster Abbey. If we time it right, we could arrive at the abbey for those who wish, to attend Evensong and thus see the Grave of the Unknown Warrior as we exit. Alternatively, the shop sells beautiful postcards for 50p... Lunch: Around St. Paul's Cathedral. Pubs, cafes, or picnic.
