Barbara, I'm not sure I know that area too well, but I'm sure it's nice. Here's a view: http://www.southwark.anglican.org/ca...mages/cath.jpg

The ones who are coming, are you planning to stay in London, or go somewhere else? You'd love the countryside I'm sure! I'll probably be in the Oxford area with John's family part of the time. There are loads of B & B's and country pubs/hotels to choose from.

It would be great fun if we could hire a boat and go all the way down the Thames together, stopping whereever we felt like.
