Thanks to those who turned up for today's ride. A nice size group, excellent weather and decent traffic made for a lovely morning. For those that are interested, this was
our route, and we stopped at:
Animals at War memorial, Park Lane
The Hyde Park pet cemetery
The Albert memorial
The Dolphin and Boy statue, Cheyenne Walk
The Little Brown Dog in Battersea Park
Battersea Dogs and Cats home
Vauxhall City Farm where the donkeys (Bert and Ernie) had a little fight just for us
South Bank Lion, Westminster Bridge
Bear Gardens, Southwark
The Alaska factory, Bermondsey
Dr Salter's Daydream, Bermondsey
Jacob the dray horse, Bermondsey (don't forget to check out Jacob's island from the river end)
We skipped the Tower of London animal sculptures, but
here are more details
Fish Street Hill, The City
The fur trade, The City
The Barge Master and swan, The City
Hodge - Dr Johnson's cat, Holborn
Francis Russell's farm animals, Bloomsbury
And I think that cafe in Russell Square is worth a return visit at some point.
The next theme ride is on 3 June - the
Quite Interesting Sunday London Ride - which has its own thread.
Hopefully see you there.
