WalkingSquares: night walk
Still milking our London trip for WalkingSquares! This time it’s a couple of images taken as we went out to dinner one evening. We strolled past the happy diner above in Woburn Place but didn’t stop because we were on our way to meet a friend who works for University College London (UCL) which looks absolutely lovely lit up at night.
Not a square, but I can’t resist adding this picture of Jeremy Bentham’s cabinet which stands in the building above. It once held his preserved remains, but no longer – if you really want to know the story you can follow the link!

That Bentham story is quite ghoulish!

That cheery fellow would certainly entice me to go into the restaurant.

I think we would have if we hadn’t had somewhere else to go!

What a very strange man! I much prefer the happy diner, Anabel.

I can’t believe that you didn’t stop and have a drink with The Happy Diner. He truly looks so inviting!

He does, but I’m not sure our friend would have understood being spurned for him!

Because my London family lives in the wilds of Hither Green, I rarely now see London at night. Note to self. Please rectify.

I had to look that up, I don’t know where anything is in relation to anywhere else!

The sculpture outside the restaurant is delightful. It probably boosts the restaurant’s business.

It would certainly have tempted us if we hadn’t already had a dinner arrangement. He is tucking in with gusto.

It’s a long time since I’ve walked around London at night – and then it would mostly be from certain theatres to certain stations – although I knew most of the back routes!
Apart from the shopping areas, I love London!

We skipped the shopping areas entirely. Not my thing at all!

I love the night shot of the UCL – does it change colour? The story of Jeremy Bentham (I’d never heard of him before) is interesting, unusual, and dare I say it, rather amusing, though I wouldn’t like to see the state of his actual head after all that messing about with it 🙂 🙂

No, the lights stayed green. The Jeremy Bentham story is quite something! Amusing and grotesque.
