After checking out of the hotel we took the bus and underground to St. Pancras International Train Station. As we arrived at the station we looked at the time and it appeared possible that one of us had time to dash to Leicester Square to find the Lego store and its ‘unique’ set. I offered to stay at the station so Amber could travel free of luggage, and she was heading to the underground the moment I began the sentence “If you want to go, go now.”
Sunday was definitely at a leisurely pace as we had one goal – afternoon tea. Anything else would be a bonus, and we came across three!
Our third full day in England was another bright, sunny and warm day. Prior to the trip Amber had arranged with her relatives to meet us for the day. They decided that we would all meet at Hampton Court Palace. Fortunately for us, there was a bus route that would take us from our hotel to the Palace.
This was one of the two days during our visit that we spent in central London. We had three goals for this particular day: visit St. Paul’s Cathedral, the British Museum, and attend live theatre.
We headed into the city after breakfast. Public transit is right in front of the hotel with a bus stop located at the edge of the hotel property. It is only a handful of stops to Hounslow West station where we transferred to the tube for the rest of the trip to our first stop.
We chose to rent a car for the day as taking public transit would have required a very long day of traveling into and out of central London and may have given us little time to visit Windsor Castle and attend the Harry Potter Studio Tour.
