Things I've learned today:
1) never eat a cake just because you can't quite believe it exists. It required a fork and left me feeling a bit odd.
2) just because something has the same name as somewhere you're looking for, it doesn't mean it's close.
3) the British Library is a bit intimidating when it is empty.
4) the British Museum is very busy when it's raining.
5) there's a feeling you get when you buy new clothes, change into them and come out feeling like you should be on the run in a blonde wig with the evidence to expose a government conspiracy in your pocket. This feeling is sadly reduced when your quick-change involves swaping one brown jacket for another.
6) if you spend all day walking round London, you will get back and realise that you're really quite tired. You will not feel much like going out in the evening. You will be particularly dismayed to discover that the thing you're going to doesn't start until 9pm.
7) on certain phones, taking screenshots and saving pictures of the route you have walked are equally impossible.
I also met a lovely, lost Japanese lady who was looking for the British Museum. Apparently it's her first time in England and she'll be spending three nights here before going on to Loughborough. There's no way that's not going to be an anti-climax.
Also: whatever you're doing, whatever you're thinking of doing, disapproving head disapproves.
