London Hostels - Reviews and Rates

More of a leisurely start today. We traveled by tube to a more posh area known as "Little Venice". Meeting our guide, we proceeded on a tour that mirrored "Hollywood home to the stars". We saw the homes of Joan Collins, a home that Madonna tried to buy, but was outbid one. She could only come up with 5.25 million, whereas another bidder ousted h...

Went to London August 2005. Stayed over at an aquantance. Did the CitySiteseeing tour. Went to Madame Taussauds. Then moved on to take a Contiki Euro Trip.

God man! I am watching the Eurovision song contest, how funny is it? I have never been too much interested in it, though in a way it is the very essence of why English people call Europeans 'Europeans' and one of the rare occasions where England is 'European'. I have just seen the gothic rock Finnish entrance, Gesus that cold did get to their br...

En la mañana me junté con la Manne en "Notting Hill Gate" y fuimos a pasear por Notting Hill. ¡¡Me encantó el lugar!! Hay mil tiendas con demasiadas cosas que ver, calles y casas preciosas y muy pintorescas. Vimos un par de tiendas, el mercadito de Portobello Road y después nos fuimos camino a Camden Town. Tomamos un bus, ¡que se demoró siglos! ...

Most of the house, some and I headed off to Notting Hill Carnival for the day. We only ended up staying for a few hours as it got way to crowded as 1 million people attended that day.

Flew From London Heathrow... flight was about 15 mins late taking off.

Last nights lots of snow fell and as I walked to the bus stop- I was being snowed on! It was pretty cool and exciting. This morning I didn't even try to catch the overland train, as there was lots more snow than last time when it failed me. So I caught the bus to the underground station and luckily it was running, so I got to work okay. On the w...

Well, it was quite a cultured lead-up to Christmas 2006. Spurred on by our enjoyment of the evening's chamber music at St-Martin-in-the-field, Su was lured (by the promise of more Vivaldi I suspect) into purchasing tickets for a concert at Royal Festival Hall. The Orchestra was excellent and their selection of performance pieces very much to our...

Finally the real trip feels as it has begun as we arrive overseas. Quinn and Deb arrive at Heathrow as they are travelling on points and are picked up by cousin Dan and off to his house before you can say Bob's your uncle. Chevy and I land in Standstead which I now understand is closer to Scotland. The train is down and every possible connection...

Neither of us had ever been to England before, so we were eager to peer down from our airplane window once we were close to land. My first impression? It seemed to be the inspiration for the watercolor iamge of the Shire on the cover of my much-loved copy of The Fellowship of the Ring. I was somewhat disappointed that there were no small men wit...
