London 2016 - Part 1

Going To London

Thursday - April 7th 2016

Last year my father in law celebrated his 60th birthday and his present was a trip to London. Claudia and I have been to London several times and so we organized the whole trip. Our easyjet flight departed from Munich early morning and after an uneventful two hours flight, we arrived at London Gatwick airport. After immigration we collected our luggage and soon we were on board the Gatwick Express to London Victoria. There we bought our Oyster Cards and then we headed to Wandsworth. Like during our last trip to London, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express again, because it was easy to reach, it offered free breakfast, the emplyees were very friendly and the rooms were fine and very clean.

After we checked in, we took the train back into the city, where we got off at Waterloo Station. Unfortunately the weather was bad, it rained heavily, we decided to have a welcome drink at The Admiralty pub near National Gallery. Luckily the clouds cleared and we strolled around the inner city. From the National Gallery we headed to Piccadilly Circus and from there to Leicester Square. Before we returned to Wandsworth we had an early dinner at Chipotle and walked along The Mall to Buckingham Palace. Back in Wandsworth we got some snacks and later we had some drinks at the hotel bar.
