St David s Hotel London

... Luggage and Damo and I headed to the West End – Oxford St, Soho and surrounds before back to Euston Rd and St Pancreas. Hooked up with David and onto the train to Paris – a smooth and very fast trip (up to 300kph), punctuated by a ...

... I never have enough of London - I really love this place - but I am also ready for a little less walking I think. A few minutes to midnight & David has again beaten me to bed. Goodnight from Kerry & David in St Margarets (near Twickenham, near ...

... style housing that ran the length of the street.  Norfolk Square Garden provided a nice respite in the dirty, busy city.  St. David's Hotel was very nice; my room was up some back stairs on the first floor.  I had a single with a balcony ...

... things, waved goodbye to Miggy at Audley End station and after catching a train and connecting bus, we'd made it to Liverpool St Station in London! I don't think I could've been anymore excited! We then had to lug our suitcases through the tube, and got ...

Gosh these last days are flying fast! Tomorrow is our last day staying in this hotel in London (before we go to stay with friends for 2 nights). In my mind, these were the "last few days" before this trip ends - and, as I say, the time is passing all too ...

... Up".  Anyways..there were probably a dozen different stops that you could get off on. The first stop we got of at was the London Dungeon which was supposed to be scary.  It may have been a waste of time and money.  However, I did get a ...

... and Queen Victoria Memorial as the backdrop, lingered around for a while, and then moved on to St.James's Park, the oldest of all Royal Parks of London. Here we first entertained ourselves watching and photographing pelicans, and then took a walk along ...

After three fourths of our group made it to London, we traveled via coach bus to the hotel, travel lodge city road.  We were unable to check in until three so we dropped off our luggage and walked around and ate to kill some time.  Walked into a ...

... some drinks and shopping, and then caught the underground back to Kings Cross. We then checked the shops both there and at St Pancras, and retired to the hotel for a relatively early night having only had short spells of sleep on our two plane ...

... Westminster and checked out the Eye today. More queues... Amazing view from up there - we do seem to find ourselves looking down on London a lot, although at least this time we didn't have to climb up ourselves. After that, we went to a pub in Westminster ...

... , a whole 10 weeks. They landed in Heathrow at around 9pm last Wednesday the 16th , and I met them at the hotel they were staying at, near St. Pauls Cathedral, at around 10. Taking into account my classes on Thursday and Friday we were able to do a lot of ...

... .  So we headed back into the piazza to walk around the little market stalls they have inside.  Really loved London photos by a french artist - he called himself an "architect, painter & photographer".  He had amazing photos of areas in ...

... in a hotel that had been a ballroom, and still looked a very grand one at that - at Liverpool Street Station. [Being in London is a bit like living on the Monopoly board!!!] And in the evening there was a curry in Brick Lane. As mentioned before, the ...

... we caught a train back to the hotel. DAY 29 WED At last! The day we had been anticipating since arriving in London; shopping day! We reached Harrods half an hour before its 10am opening time and found that the Diana/Dodi tribute window only occupied ...

Our room number at St. David's is 403. That's not to say it's on the fourth floor; the British call it Ground level instead of first floor, first instead of second..... fifth instead of fourth. Oh, and there's no elevator ("lift," that is). Oh, I also ...

... night long.  It was just lovely.  The room was decorated in art deco 1940's style as is the hotel and it was great. 4.  St. David's-Crug Glas-I think this is my personal favorite!  The honeymoon suite we have encompasses the entire top ...

... as it started getting really good and loud every time, but we were really, really sleepy. Really sleepy. We went back to the hotel for a nap, which turned into 4 hours... oops. We started walking around to try and find some food (the McDonald's we had ...

... enough though I'd seen it all before, even seedier, in King's Cross. We dined at The Country Pub in London, just around the corner from our hotel. My bangers and mash was OK but we were not particularly impressed with the pub. Our plan to decide the ...

... nor am I surprised that Jo seems to think that the London Eye is a ferris wheel.  I've explained what the Tower of London is about 5 times already.  Anyway, once the train debacle was solved we decided to shower and then see the sights by ...

... Caught up with Aunty Tan and Uncle Des again on the Friday. We went to the Camden Markets, and took photos of Tower Bridge from London Bridge. Dan and Erica arrived a day early, not sure what happened there, but i havent met them yet, cos they had to ...
