Take a list of your favourites as your mind tends to go blank when you are in there! Also in the same museum is the Canon Gallery which always has a great exhibition on. The print room is closed on Tuesdays (I think, so check) but the gallery is always open. Opposite this museum is the Natural History Museum and the Natural History Photographer of the Year exhibition may be on. Both museums are in South Kensington near to Harrods. Let your wife lose in there and have coffee with her later. Tell her she will need megabucks - the toilets on the first floor are £1 to use, although the ones in the coffee shop on the top floor are still free (strange English law!) The area around the British Museum in the City (especially Pied Bull Yard) has a number of specialist camera shops who love tourists! I amy well be able to get to London but would like to contact you nearer the time - if you feel up to it, contact me on 02380 463076 or mobile 0378 263073 when you get here. Also do so if you need any help. Regards Gerry Gerry Walden (UK)
