Thirza Pidgeon’s 1937 World Tour – 22 April: Tower of London

Thursday, 22 April 1937

Went to Australia House. Met Ethel Kingdon & her husband. Had a chat then Miss Dunleary and I had lunch. Met Mr Cockrane [sp? Possibly Cochrane], who took us to his hotel, the Imperial, then out to the Tower of London, at 5.15. A long walk back at 7, but too tired to go to an at-home, at the overseas club – so went to bed. Doing too much.

[The Imperial Hotel was located in Russell Square and was demolished after the second world war. It had a sister hotel designed by the same architect, The Hotel Russell, which still stands.]
