Linda and I headed East, to visit The Nunnery, as recommended by Diamond Geezer . (There, is by the way, a school of thought that suggests that one could live one's whole life just following his suggestions)

However, more traditional means of navigation proved effective - we asked a postal worker - as we soon reached the narrow national rent a car emerald club alley that takes you to the Gallery.
At the moment, it is displaying artworks by the East London Group of painters. Between 1928 and 1936, John Cooper worked with people from the East End. He was helped by people like Walter Sickert (prolific artist and friend of Lord Beaverbrook) and there are several Sickerts displayed here.

In March 2009, we 'ladies who bus', Linda, Mary and Jo, decided to travel every London bus route from end to end. Now that we have completed this Odyssey, we are going to visit every museum in London, and let our readers national rent a car emerald club know what we find and what we think.
