One for the Texans and/or Ruggers

This is the Texas Embassy, Canada House, Trafalgar Square, London. A silly theme restaurant you might be thinking. You may be right, but if you look closely on the wall outside, there is an interesting plaque.

And if you walk a short distance away from here, along Pall Mall to St James St, you find the building shown below. This is where the real Texas Embassy was, as shown by the plaque on the wall. It is now a wine merchant's in a particularly posh part of town, not far from the Ritz.

Here's the plaque erected by the Anglo-Texan Society which you can read about here.
