London 2025/26 - Part 2

Flying To London
 
Monday - December 29th 2025
 
Our day started pretty early since our flight to London Heathrow departed 07:30 am, but first we had to catch the bus to the terminal and then we had breakfast at the airport lounge after passing security. Finally it was time for departure, but due to the cold weather and some technical issues we were delayed for about an hour. After arriving in London we got a quick snack and then we ordered an uber to Wandsworth Town, where we checked in into our hotel. Like in the last years we stayed at the Alma Hotel. Our room was already available and after we dropped off our luggage, we stopped at the Alma pub for a welcome beer.

Afterwards we walked from Wandsworth to Battersea Power Station, which took about an hour. This walk has become sort of a tradition for us, since are doing that for several years now. We really love the atmosphere along the Thamse on cold winter daays. At Battersea Power Station we browsed through the shops until it was time for our reservation at Dishoom, an Indian restaurant. Although it was a chain restaurant the food was so delicious. After we tried several different dishes, we walked back to Wandsworth and spent the rest of the evening at the Alma pub.
