David Byrne had an installation at The Roundhouse called Playing the Building. It was ending that day, so we tubed on over to take a look.

It was a bizarre thing to see, but fun at that.
There was a cute little tube station (Chalk Street) near the Round House:

After that we went over to the British Library to see an exhibit they had put on showing all the documents they had over the life of Henry VIII. (We are watching the Showtime version of his life on Netflix right now.)

The amazing thing is the number of documents they have! They have his divorce decree, they even have love letters he wrote to Anne Boleyn!
That night we went to the play Warhorse. It is story about a boy and his horse in WWI. It is from a children's book, so you know how it ends. But it IS a British children's book, so maybe you don't. The production was tremendous, with life size puppets being used for the horses. (there are several). I would highly recommend this show to anyone who gets a chance to take it in.
