London
Wednesday - December 28th 2022
It became our tradition to travel to London over New Year's Eve, thanks to
Covid-19 our London trips in 2020 and 2021 got cancelled. Luckily this year we
finally could return to the UK. Since our flight to London departed early
morning the next day, we decided to spend the night before at Novotel Munich
Airport. After we arrived and checked in at the hotel, we took the metro to
the airport and had dinner at McDonalds. Then we checked out the stores before
returning to the hotel, where we spent the rest of the evening enjoying a
couple of drinks at the hotel bar.

Unfortunately we had to get up pretty early, but once we were through security
at the airport, we finally could sit down and enjoy our coffee. Soon we
departed on our British airways flight to London, where we arrived about two
hours later. From Heathrow Airport we took the Heathrow Express to Paddington
Station and from there the metro to Waterloo Station. At MS Food we got two
sandwiches and then we had to take another train to Wandsworth Town. Like
during our last trips we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Wandworth. The
hotel is nothing special, but we really like it there. Our room was already
available and after we dropped off our luggage, we headed straight to our
favourite pub The Alma to get a welcome beer. After our welcome drink we took
a long walk along the River Thames to Battersea Power Station.

Bettersea Power Station underwent a major restoration over the past couple of
years when it got transformed into that amazing shopping centre with lots of
bars and restaurants. Our first stop was Clean Kitchen, a vegan burger
restaurant, and lthough we had to wait nearly an hour to get our food, it was
worth the visit, because the food was really good. Afterwards we checked out
that stunning building with all its stores as well as the surrounding area.
Later we took the metro to Waterloo and the train back to Wandsworth Town
where we spent the evening at The Alma.
