After photographing we caught the tube to Tottenham Park station and walked to Foyle’s Bookstore, one of our favorite. Foyle’s has 30 miles of bookshelves with over 200,000 books, so two hours was no where near long enough to explore the offerings. 

We visited the “original” Foyle’s bookstore started in 1903, but was replaced by something grander in the early 2000s.  I miss the creaking wood floors but the added space makes up for that.   We had tea in the cafe and then browsed the bookstore. I did part of two floors but the military history section seemed to absorb time as I looked for possible gifts for my nephew, Roger, a WWII buff.  There were so many…which one might he not have that we couldn’t get in the US?  Well that remains the question.  

Neither of us had enough time to wander as much as we liked, so Foyle’s will be a destination for another day.  I will however, have to have to have books weighted so they will go in my luggage. 

We caught the tube back to the flat and spent a quiet evening reading.
