Discovery of the day (courtesy of A)

Today's Extended Celebrations began with London Zoo, avec friends and their toddler, and were followed by Afternoon Tea At Ruby Violet.

We finished at Ruby Violet at about ten past five. Rather than head straight into rush hour traffic, we decided to go for a short walk along the canal, because we'd not get home any later and we'd enjoy ourselves a lot more...

... but we never made it as far as the canal, because A spotted that the building that used to contain the House of Illustration is now Queer Britain: alas their website is not great at imparting information, so have (oh the irony) a Graun article instead.

It's tiny. It's fantastic. A got me one of those ridiculous colour-changing umbrellas from the gift shop as a(nother) present, because he'd never seen them before, and I said "ooh, I've never been able to justify getting one of those!"

Right next door to Ruby Violet (i.e. a five-minute walk from King's Cross), free with donations encouraged, and totally worth it.
