The Ice Man Cometh...?

There was hardly any queue at the Victoria and Albert Museum, so we decided to see both the Lee Miller and Golden Age of Couture exhibitions. The Lee Miller was much more interesting than I had anticipated. Not only was she a model, but having become a photographer she was a war photojournalist for Vogue Magazine. There was even a bizarre photo of her in Hitler's bath! The Couture exhibition was excellent - including all the fashion styles from 1947-1957. The best bit were the miniatures, all the latest styles on tiny mannequins, even down to tiny gloves and bags.

Having left the V&A, we headed across the road back to the underground, stopping briefly to snap these skaters outside The Natural History Museum.
