The Wallace Collection is lovely - not too enormous, but enough to keep us occupied for a few hours. One of my favourite things in it is The Swing (http://wallacelive.wallacecollection.org/eMuseumPlus?service=direct/1/ResultLightboxView/result.t2.collection_lightbox.$TspTitleLink$1.link&sp=10&sp=Scollection&sp=SfieldValue&sp=0&sp=1&sp=2&sp=Slightbox_3x4&sp=0&sp=Sdetail&sp=0&sp=F&sp=T&sp=1) - which is known as a rather sugar sweet chocolate box picture. Until you actually look at it and realise that the woman's lover, below her, is looking right up her skirts...

I had never really noticed St James's Park before - and we both fell in love with it because it is such a contrast to everything around it!
