Surprise! Surprise! My dad's brother and his family were in London this week! So a daytrip is planned and off I go to visit the Queen (although I didn't get to see her once I was there).
My tito's family stayed in a 17th century house which was formerly owned by a maker of playing cards... hence the house was designed with cards in mind... 52 rooms... with the 4 suites as basis for the decors... the house is currently owned by Tate and Lyle and is used to house all their visiting officers in London and as a venue for official business meetings and formal functions.
