Last September, I was lucky enough to visit London for an action-packed couple of days. I got a morning flight from 'Dublin' to 'Luton' with the magic of Ryanair !! I got a coach from the airport to Victoria, it took about an hour and a half. It was quite comfortable and there was WiFi Connection as an added bonus. I had used ' www.lastminute.com' to book an economy hotel called The Welligton. The hotel was well located and it was great value.
From Victoria, I was able to buy an all day 'Tube and Railway ticket for my son and I ,for about 11£. We went on a boat trip from Westminister Bridge down the Thames to the Tower of London. The guide from the boat gave us all the information about the sights in the area. With your all day ticket, we were able to get a 30% discount on the boat trip, which worked out at about 12 quid for the pair of us.
The next day, we rented out public bikes, which we found a bit difficult to figure out how to pay for and could have been a bit simpler to operate. The bikes themselves were fine and the first half an hour was free. After nearly getting knocked down by the crazy traffic, we went through Hyde Park which was much more relaxing and we saw some squirells!!!
Another fun thing we did, was to take in a trip to Arsenals Football Club, where we did a tour of the ground . It costs around 20 quid for one adult and one child. It takes about an hour to finish and is great fun if your a football fanatic ! ! ! We saw all the trophies and I sat in '' Arsene Wenger's pitch side seat. We sat in the Arsenal dressing rooms and chilled out in the V.I.P box where all the millionaires get pampered :) and get to watch the match in deluxe comfort...
Before we knew it, it was time to start packing bags for a return trip. Hope you enjoyed reading about my adventures and I would welcome any comments or suggestions for a future visit...
