A quick pit stop at Freud Bar for old times’ sake before I move on to tonight’s main destination.
Gimlet’s decent enough but with fresh lime and no cordial it can only ever be so good.
But the vibe in here is just as I remember it, laid back and welcoming.

Have finally managed to catch up with DavidOlusoga's ✨fantastic✨ documentary on the history of Covent Garden
Sad not to see any dodgy Victorian Brands popping up, but still hugely recommend it >>

Public service info: there are 193 steps at #CoventGarden #Tube station. The equivalent of a 15 storey building. If you're too impatient like us to wait for the lift.
The Blitz Club had a strict door policy: 'if you didn’t look good, you weren’t coming in - no matter how famous you were'
Ask Mick Jagger, who was refused entry one evening for not being dressed well enough.

Have always loved this lonely #BronzeSculpture ‘Young Dancer’ by #EnzoPlazzotta, a popular Italian born British sculptor. Do you love it too?
I guess it reminds me of my younger self, so many childhood hours suffering #EnPointe! 😣
This bronze #ballerina is in a quiet street by the Royal Opera House, but on the quieter part of #CoventGarden where very few tourists venture to.
