16 May 2012 LONDON TO CAMBRIDGE Wednesday

On the move again, but in the hire car this time, no more trains, tubes or escalators, except for the last train trip for Mum and Keith to meet us at West Ruislip after a quick stop in Beaconsfield for a few extra items.

Our stopover for the night was Cambridge to see all the austere colleges and to get a feel for great grandad's student life.

Kings College

Queens College

Most importantly, though, was a stop at Hardy's Sweet Shop for lollies in every flavour imaginable.
Dinner was more about the view, although the food was good too.  The Anchor was originally a boathouse in 1845 and for good reason, right on the river.  The tradition of punters gliding their customers along the water is still going strong.
The Anchor's other claim to fame is housing Syd Barrett who became part of Pink Floyd eventually.
