South Kensington

I went to the Victoria and Albert Museum today.
It’s a museum about the decorative arts. Iron works, jewelry, interior design, furniture, statues, body armor, katanas and the like.
It has exhibits covering Chinese, British, Japanese, South Asian, Indian, Italian, various European and even American items.
But the museum is confusing because not all the staircases reach all the floors so you need to follow your map.
They used to have an exhibit on arms and weapons but that’s been taken down in favor of expanding the miniatures exhibit.
Political Correctness? Who knows?

Before the museum, I had a snack at Oriental Canteen, the closest thing I’ve had to hawker food. Red chopsticks and red spoons? Basic decor? Sounds like Maxwell’s to me!
But, �3.5 for wontonmein? That’s not Maxwell’s prices!
After escaping the V&A (as they like to call it), I went to Cafe Creperie de Hampstead for a Ham & Cheese crepe snack. It was pretty good.
And you’ll have no trouble finding it, it’s on the road to the Museum from the Tube and they’re next door to each other. (!)
