    We spent the weekend in London celebrating our parents 60th Wedding Anniversary. Saturday we went to the Royal Albert Hall with dinner at Elgar restaurant. Whilst the experience was beautiful the meal and service was very below average. We’re so glad this meal was our parting memory before we travelled home. Our waiter Vlad was excellent, prompt polite and made our experience very enjoyable. Mom And Dad were presented with a little anniversary surprise. Will definitely return, thank you to all the staff that made this such a great end to our London visit ❤️🥂
