Lovely London

Cheerio!

London is an absolute favorite city of mine & Im excited to be heading back across the pond this summer!

Ive been a few times, last summer and a few Christmases ago, but it feels like the first time every time!It just has that effect on you , theres always something new to discover.This city has the kindest people and their adorable accents make it such treasured experience. Not to mention great pubs, Harry Potter , the Beetles, Adele.... the list goes on ..

This is what I've learned so far:

( but I'm always looking for new fun things to do and explore so all advice is welcome!)

Flights: Would def recommend landing in Heathrow... Made the mistake once of flying out of Luton because it was cheaper but way outside of London (nightmare !!!) never again..
Best form of travel is the tube and you get to venture to the best architectural designs in London St. Pancras Station and Kings Cross Railway. Don't forget to "MIND THE GAP".

Places to Stay:
It all depends on where you want to be located, you can get to anywhere in the city quick via bus/tube/walking so options are endless.
I have loved staying at both : Premier Inn St James Park (seconds from Westminster Abby) & Hilton London Euston (just a hop, skip away from St. Pancras Station).

Personally I like staying a little closer to all the attractions because you can walk everywhere and it's the best way to stumble upon one of a kind authentic cafes and discover the city sites like a local ..
