films to see. It has a magnificent musuem and stunning furniture. Finish about 4.00 in time to take in

The train times are too early for cheap tickets, for which we apoliogise, but we are restricted by the
arrival time at the Mansion House, and any later would not have made it possible to do this visit in the
day. We will wait a few minutes at Waterloo, but would you please tell us in advance if you are either
going to be a bit late there (not more than 10 mins) or are going to make you own way to the Mansion
House
