24 Hours in London

I landed at Heathrow Airport on a cloudy afternoon. I hopped on the train at the airport which took me directly to Paddington.

After checking in to my room for the night which was in the above street of Norfolk Square. At the end of the street was my first destination – Sawyers Arms.

After a beer but no fish and chips, I made my way to the train station. It’s a great vista.

Nice and busy on the tube.

I stopped off Charring Cross and headed above ground to Trafalgar Square.

I went for a bit of a walk and because it was 17 degrees Celsius, English men and women were queued for a tasty, cooling, ice-cream.

I continued my walk, mostly window shopping and also some real life shopping in Covent Garden.

And since I was in Covent Garden, I might as well visit The Coach & Horses pub for another beer.

By the time I was finished at The Coach & Horses I was feeling a little tired as I’d travelled from Brisbane without a break, so I headed back to Paddington for a sleep.

I woke early and wandered the streets some more on a cold and wet Sunday morning.

Once a coffee shop was open, I headed in for my morning coffee.

And then is back to my room to pack and catch the bus to the airport for my flight to Spain.
