PS. The facility in the Shard is NOT a bathroom. It's a toilet, or a loo. We don't have public bathrooms in the UK - the last ones closed in the late 1950s/early 1960s, I should think - we have public _toilets._

@@mickylee82 That's a good analogy - a bakery selling cakes might have a slight association with sweet shops, in that lots of sugar is being used to make things you can eat, but that's about as far as it goes. The sugary things they sell are very, VERY different. In bathrooms, there's lots of running water and hard impervious floors and walls - just the same as toilets, but _that's_ about as far as it goes, too.

You should've gone to any pharmacy, and asked to speak to the pharmacist for advice about your allergy/runny nose/whatever it was. If you're not 'ill', but have an annoying 'issue', pharmacists in the UK (and in most of Europe) can offer a LOT of help. They do continual training and are a 'one stop shop' for advice and practical help for all sorts of health matters (apt to be different things in different countries) - and will have no hesitation in directing you to further help if needed. You wouldn't be eligible for some of their services such as free vaccines here in the UK, but they would certainly be happy to offer advice, and sell you a suitable medication if appropriate - which will cost you MUCH less than in the US. Wisley gardens (WIZZLEE) are the hq of the Royal Horticultural Society. If you like gardens, you could become a member before your next visit to the UK, and plan your trip around the RHS gardens and its partner gardens. I'm a member and I LOVE going to the various gardens all over the country. The RHS gardens are free to enter if you're a member, and you also get free or reduced entry at many other notable gardens. RHS gardens are all in England - Wisley (Surrey), Hyde Hall (Esssx), Rosemoor (Devon), Bridgewater (Manchester) and Harlow Carr (Harrogate North Yorkshire). They all have good cafes, too! Their partner gardens are all over the UK, and entry is free or at reduced rates for RHS members. I hope you come again, and visit the REAL England (as well as, if possible, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), not just the tourist traps (although I do give you a lot of credit for following the advice given to you in Bath about visiting Avebury!). Perhaps decide what you most want to see and do - castles, stately homes, prehistory, theatre, gardens, inland waterways, etc etc - and plan your next visit around one or two of those themes. There are all sorts of memberships which are well worth the cost for visiting places, once you've used the membership a few times, it's paid for itself. Look at National Trust, English Heritage, Historic England, Royal Horticultural Society, and others. Most municipal museums and art galleries are free - but special exhibitions are charged for. You can usually get information about local places of interest from libraries, if you're not in a place with a Visitor Information Centre. FWIW, I've always travelled alone, even when my partner was alive. I started at 18, when I hitchhiked round Europe in the 1960s. I've lived and worked in more than a dozen countries on four continents, and travelled widely in many more. I'm now approaching 80 and still travelling, although not as nimble as I once was of course! I gave up driving a few years ago but that doesn't hinder me much, if at all, in Europe and Asia. Travel light is the best advice. You can always buy stuff if you didn't pack it, but later need it. I have some travel-size packs of local-brand toiletries bought in various far-away places, and I keep them out on my bathroom shelves as souvenirs which are (or were) functional! I sniff one, and it reminds me of Thailand, another takes me back to New Caledonia - and my toothpaste is Greek!
