Exploring: Baker St, Marylebone, Oxford St - January 25, 2014

Spotted this horse statue at Marble Arch, while on the bus. It is a bronze sculpture installed in 2011, created by British sculptor Nic Fiddian-Green.

The London Beatles Store was just as  disappointing as I imagined. Mostly enjoyed the front of the store. Huge queue next door for the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

As they slowly disappear around the world, this one still stands with the full name:

Faced the crowds at Selfridge’s for some Pinkberry, and managed to even get a table!

Caught a bus to Victoria and the 170 homewards for the night.
