Last day in London

Tomorrow we leave for home, which sounds good to us.  We've seen a lot of fabulous sites.  Today was laid back, with a stroll down the famous street market on Portobello Road in Notting Hill.  Walked past a house with a historical marker saying it was formerly home to George Orwell.

The market runs about two miles and is basically a huge garage sale. Lots of interesting antiques and unique souvenir's.

September 18 was the 40th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death here in London. Normally, we would not mark this event, but that night saw a big event being held in our hotel. That and two days of seeing mini-buses marked "Londonrocktour.com" stop outside the hotel clued us in that our location was related to Jimi.  Seems this was his first home in London - September to December, 1966.
