London Day .5 - Kings Cross, Books on the Water

 We arrived at Heathrow and met Alex around 3, making it to our apartment by 4. We decided to head out and see a book store on a boat, Books on the Water, at which I bought a Winnie the Pooh book for Mandy. We then went to Kings Cross/Kings Cross St. Pancras. Got to see platform 9and 3 quarters!
