Doubt this will be useful to anyone, but should you want to take a short audio tour including here. While in London stayed near the small Freud Museum, where he spent his last few years in exile from the Nazis. Visited, but didn’t have headphones at the time, thus now listening while driving in California. https://www.freud.org.uk/2014/03/01/audio-guide/ A friend and I used to exchange tours a little out of context of being at the place. The old Alcatraz tour was fun late at night.
