Europe Day 1 London

Yesterday evening Susan, Jenn, and I boarded a red eye flight to London. We booked through Delta, but our flight was on Virgin Atlantic. The amenities were fine, they gave us both dinner and breakfast, but the seats seemed a little cramped and weren’t real comfortable. We didn’t get much sleep.

We arrived at Heathrow this morning and took the train to the Kensington area of London. We stayed in a Marriott that was near Collingham Place, which is where I stayed when I did a London program in college. 

After we freshened up at the hotel, we walked up to Kensington Gardens, and saw Kensington Palace.

We continued north then turned east and walked along the northern edge of Hyde Park until we got to the Marble Arch and Speaker’s Corner.

 

We had an early dinner at the Hard Rock Oxford Street, which is around the corner from Marble Arch. This was the 34th HRC I’ve been too. It was located in a Hard Rock Hotel.

From there we walked west to where Jennifer stayed on her college program, then took the Tube back to Earl’s Court, which was the station closest to our hotel. We were pretty tired by then, so went to bed early.
