I think being a Tube train driver would be awfully fun. We caught a VERY full Tube train this afternoon in order to get away from an extremely crowded Camden Town. I do remember watching a video explaining how busy Camden Town is on a Sunday…but I forgot it until we got there! This Tube train had the nicest driver/announcer, making very polite requests to travellers. I think such polite requests possibly keeps everyone calmer and more likely to be polite to others. One unwell lady asked for a seat, two gentlemen rose quickly to offer theirs.
Even better on our Tube back at the end of the evening the driver/announcer spoke again...this time instead of a smooth, gentle tone, it was a gruff, gravelly voice with a strong British accent. We both thought he was putting on at first, but his voice was so good Christian even suggested doing something to get him to speak again!
We went to church at Luther-Tyndale Lutheran church. A lovely bunch of diverse people, great organ playing and good preaching.
Following church we went via Camden Town to the National Gallery. There may be nonsense art there (or fart as we call it), but for the first time ever on a visit to a gallery, I saw none! The British government has great taste in art. So many beautiful pieces of art reflecting on biblical stories.

| The incredulous face of Thomas checking out Jesus really is alive. |

| One very unhappy Martha, you can see Mary at Jesus feet in the other room. |
With super tired feet we stopped into St Martins-on-the-Field for an evensong choral service. Beautiful music. Beautiful ceiling. Disappointing front window. Minimalist altar area. Ugly processional cross.

| Not particularly impressed with anything but the Georgian ceiling! |

| They had a mighty, beautiful organ. |
