What amazing beauty !So my day part 1. After the river bus we went to see the ceilings of the Old Royal Naval College up close.
The £11 ticket was astonishing good value for a really interesting tour up the scaffolding where the restorers are hard at work on the 300 year old paint work.

The end wall has a large mural with a self-portrait of the artist in the bottom right corner and the King who paid for it (William IV) and his family in the foreground.

King Louis XIV of France was painted being kicked by the above King and with a broken sword to show he was a loser!

I want to have that speed limit sign ! I need it for the street where I live.Next we walked through the first tunnel under the Thames built in 1902. You go down a spiral staircase to get to it ... so it’s for pedestrians only
